Smart SFP Loopback
Smart SFP Loopback is a device in SFP form factor for loopback traffic at Data Link, Network and Transport layers of the OSI model.
Incoming traffic is looped back with swapping of MAC and IP addresses and TCP/UPD ports if needed.
Smart SFP is installed in any network device with an SFP slot and acts simultaneously as a standard SFP module and smart loopback.
Smart SFP Loopback can be used as a remote loopback with Ethernet test and measurement equipment of any vendors.
