method. For details, see “Using J-Proof to verify layer 2
transparency” on page 71 .
– JDSU Discovery. You can now automatically detect other
JDSU test equipment on the network, and determine their
services and capabilities.
– ATP payload definition. You can now specify a repeating
static fill-byte pattern up to 64 bytes long to be inserted
into Acterna Test Packets (ATPs).
– Throughput calculation. When your instrument is config-
ured to transmit a constant load of traffic, it will now auto-
matically estimate and display the ideal throughput
utilized for each layer before you begin testing.
– Multiple stream testing enhancements. You can now
configure your instrument to transmit a ramped load of
traffic when running multiple streams applications. You
can also transmit a fill-byte pattern in an ATP payload
when transmitting layer 2, layer 3, or layer 4 streams.
– Multiple source addresses. When running layer 2 or
layer 3 multiple streams applications with IPV4 traffic, you
can now specify a different source MAC or IP address for
each individual traffic stream.
– Link Stats result enhancements. You can now setup your
instrument to report link throughput in Mbps or Kbps, or
you can specify that the instrument should automatically
determine the increment. You can also control the preci-
sion of certain measurements (up to four decimal points),
and measure instantaneous packet jitter.
– Performance results. Additional performance and error
results are now provided, such as counts of severely
errored seconds, and unavailable seconds.
– RFC 2544 enhancements. You can now launch the auto-
mated RFC test when running standard Traffic applica-
tions. An asymmetric RFC 2544 test is also available,
which allows you to run the test in an end-to-end configu-
ration at different upstream and downstream line rates.
The test is initiated by a master tester on the near end.
The master tester then automatically configures the slave
tester on the far end.
