Up to layer 7 performance testing. Spirent even has a box that can do application level testing at Gigabit speed. (Webavalanche priced at 100k - 300k Euro.)

Pricing depends on functionality. If only layer 2 or 3 is required then a smartbit 6000 (Spirent) will do, these are a lot cheaper. They are often used by carriers to stress test lines according to RFC standards, smart BER testers. My previous employer used them to test Metropolitan Gigabit Ethernet circuits.

Ixia fan here, great hardware and software but way too expensive, sometimes the hardware does show up on ebay & co and some good prices but 15K won't buy you a chassis and cards :-(

I apologize in advance for the naive question, but what exactly are these Ixia and Spirent boxes doing that justify five figure price tags?
