6.4 Throughput Testing
6.4.1 Setup
To access Throughput testing features, tap
Throughput
from the
Home
menu.
Overview:
This application is very useful in verifying the transport of traffic with different prioritization settings across a network link. The test
helps verify that the network can handle high priority traffic and low priority traffic accordingly.
The Throughput application performs the following measurements:
Throughput performance
Frame Loss analysis
Delay analysis
Frame/Packet arrival analysis
Received Traffic Type analysis
Received Traffic Frame Size analysis.
On the transmit side, the Throughput application currently allows up to 32 streams with its MAC and IP address, VLAN tags (up to
3), bandwidth/rate, frame size, and L2 and/or L4 quality of service (QoS) parameters. On the receiver end, the traffic is analyzed on
a per stream basis as well as a global or aggregate measurement.
eCPRI Throughput testing at Layer 2 and 4 is supported. Throughput can be configured to use either stress patterns or user defined
test patterns to simulate various conditions. The test layer, frame header, traffic profile, error injection, and control settings of the far-
end device (if applicable) must be configured prior to testing.
6.4.1.1 Frame Header Settings
The following parameters must be configured prior to performing a Throughput test:
Layer 2:
Test pattern is encapsulated into a valid Ethernet frame with SOF, Preamble, and CRC field
A default or user configured Media Access Control (MAC) address is added to the frame
Layer 4:
A default or user configured Media Access Control (MAC) address is added to the frame.
A default or user configured IP address is added to the frame.
