Peer settings
Information relative to the remote peer and the test packet contents. VLAN protocol IDs are set to 0x8100 for 802.1Q
network when VLAN is chosen. Test packets are Y.1731 LBM and the MEG (ME Group) level is configurable.
Type
Layer-2 or Layer-3.
Layer-2 settings
Port name
Name configured for the port on which to send the flow(s).
MAC destination
This is the peer MAC address.
Layer-3 settings
Destination IP address
The IP address of the remote side.
DSCP
The DiffServ Code Point to set in the generated packets.
UDP port settings (Source & Destination)
Specify the UDP port numbers used to generate the UDP packet.
Y.1731 MEG level
The Maintenance Entity Group level.
VLAN ID
VLAN identifier, possible values are 0 to 4095. Applies only when the specific VLAN is enabled.
VLAN priority
VLAN priority bits, possible values are 0 to 7. Applies only when the specific VLAN is enabled.
VLAN CFI
Specify the Canonical Format Indicator. This should always be set to zero for connections to Ethernet switches. Applies
only when the specific VLAN is enabled.
Throughput settings
These settings are used to define the Throughput test, which searches for the maximum rate for which there is no frame
loss. The Trial duration parameter defines the length during which throughput will be analyzed and during which no frame
loss shall occur. The Maximum rate and Minimum rate define the range of rates to search for while the Step size defines
the granularity of the range. For example, if the user wishes to measure the quality of a wirespeed GigE circuit, he would
enter a range of 800 Mbps and 1000 Mbps with a step size of 10 Mbps. The NID would then test at full GigE speed, 1000
