Throughput
The objective of this test is to find the throughput of the device under test
for which there is no frame loss. Starting at the specified maximum rate
(
Max. Rate
), the rate converges towards the highest throughput without
frame loss. The search is done with a halving/doubling method until a final
value is reached. The throughput measurement is validated the number of
times specified (
Validations ) for the predefined duration (Trial Duration) .
The
Accuracy
setting specifies how precise the result must be. The test is
performed for each defined frame size.

Max. Rate
is the maximum rate the test should begin with, in terms of
a percentage of the line rate ( % ), Mbit/s , or Gbit/s . For Dual Test Set
Max. Rate is configurable for both local to remote (
L->R
) and remote
to local ( R->L ) directions.
