Not for speed or latency testing however I wouldn't expect it to be very good at that. I use it quite a bit for testing in the lab, really I just use the hex-dump feature; set a source and destiantion MAC address and just dump in the rest of the packet into the GUI as hex so you are free to write and send any kind of frame/packet you like. It works well in that sense, for testing if a specific kind of frame or packet will be processed/passed/allowed through an ACL etc. James
