In eMBMS Node test case, the eMBMS-GW M1 Node provides user plane traffic processing between MBMS-GW and eNodeB for MBMS service data delivery via M1 interface. It’s based on GTPv1-U. IP multicast is used on this interface to forward data and supports the broadcast mode for the EPS architecture.
It’s available in “eMBMS-GW and BMSC” or “eMBMS-GW” emulator mode.
With an Ethernet User Node, you can define:
The IP address and routing options... The IP Address (IPv4 or IPv6) will increment for each node.
The MAC Address to override the Hardware MAC address so the packets sent out of the interface will use the provisioned MAC address rather the Hardware MAC Address.
Custom port selection... and error injection with the Advanced... button.
The Outbound Traffic Port to disable the normal routing function and to force packets out of the selected interface.
