The invention relates to a high-speed network tester, which comprises a
liquid crystal display (LCD), a storage, an X86 and an intelligent multi-
core network card and is characterized in that an
internet protocol security (
IPSec) encrypting and decrypting
coprocessor is arranged in the intelligent multi-
core network card, the X86 is connected with the intelligent multi-
core network card through a
peripheral component interface express (PCIE) high-speed
bus, the intelligent multi-core network card is respectively connected with the storage and the LCD, and the storage is further connected with the LCD. The invention further relates to a test method of the network tester, which includes the following steps of: initializing the intelligent multi-core network card, configuring parameters of the intelligent multi-core network card and generating configuration scripts, starting the
test flow path, stopping or interrupting the test, analyzing test results and generating a
test report. The network tester combines the intelligent multi-core network card and the X86, is compatible with the
IPSec encrypting and decrypting
coprocessor, is low in cost, strong in
processing performance, fast and flexible in operation, simultaneously combines LED touch screen operation, is easy, fast and convenient in test method, and can effectively meet needs of a ten-
gigabit network tester market.
