RFC Testing Equipment

Our ISP is getting into some more MPLS/VPLS transport services and some of our clients are requiring RFC 2544 testing to verify large frame transport capability. I understand what the test is and why they would want it. What I am wondering is what equipment is typically used for RFC 2544 testing.

I found an Exfo device that does it, but it seems like a little bit overkill for our use case. GL Communications has a ethernet testing device that looks like what we would need, but I have never heard of the company and I'm not sure how reliable they are.

Does anyone have any experience with these tests? What equipment would you suggest for testing up to 10G with large frame sizes?
