I've used Spirent, IXIA and Anritsu test gear and I prefer the Anritsu
boxes, even if they are a tad more complicated to configure. There
are places that you can rent stuff like that (I've rented OTDRs in the
past) but the details escape me.

We've used Spirent with a lot of success. They have a good lease

I'd prefer to rent. What products have you used? Where did you

from?
I need to be able to run pre-defined traffic patterns at various
rates, in
excess of 10Gbps in most cases.
Thanks!
