3.8 RFC2544 Tests
RFC2544 is a benchmarking methodology that defines several tests for
describing the performance characteristics of a network device (or
complete network). The Network Master includes several setups (test
modes) for covering all aspects of RFC2544 testing.
Note:
RFC2544 tests require the RFC2544 test option.

3.8.1 RFC2544 Throughput Test Setup
The RFC2544 Throughput test measures the highest line load at which
the DUT (Device Under Test) can forward frames of specific size without
lost frames. It also displays the frame loss rate for different line loads for
a specific frame size.
Up to eight RFC2544 Throughput tests can be added to the test schedule
in Test Automator. Each test has its own set of parameters. To setup a
RFC2544 Throughput test, press the
icon at the Test Automator
screen. See section 3.2.4 for more information on Test Automator.
