13.5 Throughput Testing (Multiple Streams)
Overview:
The throughput application (or the multiple streams application) performs the following measurements: throughput
performance, frame loss analysis, delay analysis, frame/packet arrival analysis, received traffic type analysis, and
received traffic frame size analysis. On the transmit side, the throughput application allows for the configuration of up
to 8 traffic streams with their own MAC and IP addresses, VLAN tags (up to 3 per stream), bandwidth/rate, frame
size, and L2 and/or L3 quality of service (QoS) parameters. On the receiver end the traffic is analyzed on a per stream
(up to 8 streams) basis as well as a global or aggregate measurement.
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.

13.5.1 Setup
Unless otherwise noted, the Frame Header and related setups are the same as the ones described in section 13.2 BERT
and 13.3 RFC 2544 . The following parameters must be configured prior to performing a Throughput test:
Number of streams (See
General Settings
below)
Bandwidth per stream (See General Settings below)
Test layer
Frame Type
VLAN tag(s)
MPLS tag(s)
Frame header per stream (if applicable)
Traffic profile per stream (if applicable)
Error injection per stream (if applicable)
Control settings of the far-end device(s) (if applicable)
