Subtests Configuration
Throughput Configuration
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 with the test having a predefined duration (
Test Time
). 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 (
Nb. of Validations ). The Accuracy settings specify how precise
that result must be. The test is performed for each defined frame size.
Note: Throughput must be enabled from Global Configuration on page 77.

Test Time (MM:SS)
: Enter the Test Time value in seconds. Possible
values are 1 second to 30 minutes. The default setting is 1 second
(
00:01
).

Accuracy : Enter the Accuracy value as a percentage of the line rate
(
%
),
Mbit/s
, or in
Gbit/s
. The accuracy is not based on the configured
Maximum Rate but on the Ethernet line rate. The accepted values are
as follows:
