10G Wired Performance Test (Y.1564)
Purpose
The 10G Wired Performance (Y.1564) test provides point-to-point
performance testing of a traffic stream across a wired IPv4
network infrastructure. This test is typically used to validate
network performance for existing services or for new services
such as VoIP. It quantifies network performance in terms of
throughput, loss, latency, and jitter. It does this by allowing you
to initiate a Y.1564 test on a remote OptiView XG that is then run
between the OneTouch AT 10G tester and the OptiView XG.
Note
This test relies on an appropriately configured
OptiView XG as an endpoint.
The 10G Wired Performance (Y.1564) test allows you to:
 If you set up a test suite on the OneTouch AT 10G, you can
perform a simple throughput test with default QoS
parameters to measure Throughput, Frame Loss, Latency and
Jitter.
 If you choose a test suite that has been configured on an
OptiView XG, you can perform a more complicated
performance test by using a test suite from the OptiView XG
to validate that QoS has been properly configured within the
network under test. Up to four Services can be configured to
run concurrently to test service performance in the presence
of background traffic. These services can be configured for
different VLANs, VLAN priority, TOS/DSCP, IP Address, and
Port number to conform to the way QoS is provisioned in the
network.
The analyzer exchanges up to four streams of traffic with the
Optiview XG at a full line rate of up to 10 Gbps for performance
validation, or at lower speeds to minimize disruption when
troubleshooting operational networks.
The test is based on the ITU-T Y.1564 Ethernet Service Activation
Test Methodology.
