1.1 Product Overview
This option controls the MU120121A/22A modules installed in the main
unit and monitors the traffic on the PPPoE session. It can measure
throughput and delay by “session group”, which is a group of more than
one PPPoE sessions.
Measurement is performed by establishing a session first, generating
traffic, and disconnecting the session.
There are two types of measurement: manual where traffic is
started/stopped manually and auto where measurement is repeated
automatically. The user can switch the measurement method.
This option measures traffic for the following three types of network
topologies:
Note:
In this manual, the user flow from client to server is referred to as
“UpLink” and from server to client “DownLink.”
