MAX-800 Series
RFC 2544
RFC 2544
RFC 2544 allows Ethernet Throughput, Back-to-Back, Frame Loss, and
Latency performance testing in accordance with RFC 2544 specifications.
The
RFC 2544
test, in single port configuration, has to be executed in
conjunction with a remote unit. The remote unit can be either in loopback
configuration for unidirectional testing or in RFC 2544
Dual Test Set
mode
for bidirectional testing.
The
Dual Test Set
test allows bi-directional testing between two
compatible units providing independent results for each test direction. The
results from local-to-remote and remote-to-local are available on the local
testing unit.
The
Dual Port
topology allows simultaneous and bidirectional traffic
generation and analysis at 100 percent wire-speed at any packet size.
