7 RFC 2544 Test Setup and
Results
The FTB-860/880 NetBlazer Series allows performance testing as per
RFC 2544, including
Throughput , Back-to-Back , Frame Loss , and Latency
subtests.
The RFC 2544 test has to be executed in conjunction with a remote
module. The remote module can be either in loopback configuration for
unidirectional testing or in the Dual Test Set RFC 2544 mode for
bidirectional testing.
The Dual Test Set RFC 2544 allows to measure RFC 2544 conformity where
the downstream characteristics are different from the upstream. The Dual
Test Set RFC 2544 adds the capability to the basic RFC 2544 test to perform
one way Throughput, Frame Loss, and Back-to-Back subtests. The Latency
subtest is only for the round trip delay (one-way latency requires an
external timing reference). A test stream is transmitted from the local
module to the remote module, and from the remote module to the local
module. Results of both directions are consolidated on the local module.
The RFC 2544 menu offers the following structure:
