13.4.6 Peer-to-Peer and Asymmetric Testing
Remote Partner Control
When the local unit connects to the remote (peer) partner, it loads the same configuration profile (header, traffic, and frame size)
to the remote partner, with the MAC and IP addresses inverted. From the peer-to-peer menu, asymmetric testing becomes
available.
Asymmetrical links provide different line rates in the two directions. To verify the information for both the low and the high rates
of the link, the user needs to send a test signal from one instrument located at one end of the link to an instrument at the other
end of the link and vice versa to test traffic capacity. The two test instruments have to be synchronized because the tests defined
in RFC 2544 require the receiver to know the contents of the test signal to be transmitted in detail.
The test set offers an automated RFC 2544 test application to perform throughput, frame loss, and burstability tests in a local-
remote unit setup. The user first configures the test setup in the local unit. Once initiated, the local unit transfers the setup
information to the remote unit via the line under test. Upon completion, the remote unit transfers the test results back to the local
unit, enabling the user to read the results for both directions of the link on the local unit.
