|
The EATS tool makes possible to generate a traffic representative of the AFDX protocol. It is a test means intended for investigation, debug activities and for checking the robustness of various equipments.
Running on a standard PC with an AFDX or Ethernet card, this software allows to describe an AFDX communication in accordance with the ICD files.

 |
Functionalities |
 |
| |
|
|
| |
|
EATS offers to build the configuration of the simulated End System through a configuration file of the ICD in order to communicate with it on an AFDX network, |
|
 |
| |
|
Dynamic generation and avionic parameters simulation, |
|
|
| |
|
Easy and flexible protocols description through XML format, |
|
|
| |
|
Settings and parameters saved in XML formalism, |
|
|
| |
|
Generated frame can be UDP and ICMP types, |
|
|
| |
|
AFDX Traffic generator performance is directly based on the AIM AFDX capabilities. |
|
|
| |
|
EATS simulates an End System in order to define:
- VL comprising the following information :
- Identifier and sub identifier,
- Bag,
- MAC address source,
- Size. |
|
|
| |
|
AFDX ports (sampling or queuing) comprising the following information:
- Type (sampling or queuing),
- Source and destination IP addresses,
- Source and destination ports,
- Period of emission for sampling ports,
- Datagram size, which can be upper than VL’s length if fragmentation is requested. |

Modularity |
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
Embedded Ethernet version: AFDX protocol simulated by software, « traffic shaping », SN management, MTU, etc... |
|
|
| |
|
AFDX version : AIM AFDX card (other on request). |
|
| |
|
|
|
User friendly |
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
Easy use display by traffic through windows and decoding modules, |
|
|
| |
|
Intelligent consistency check (Frame encoding with fields coherence verification). |
|
| |
|
|
|
Performance |
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
Multi-Application within the network |
|
|
| |
|
Possibility of communication degradation: FS modification , Stop traffic on VL, Port, Application. |
|
| |
|
|
|
Environment |
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
EATS runs on a PC equipped with a standard Ethernet card or PCI or PCMCIA AIM AFDX card. |
|
| |
|
|
|
Specific adaptation |
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
Adaptations can be carried out on request through plug-in: Specific protocol, specific degradations, standards evolutions, etc... |
