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.

9.1 Setup
Unless otherwise noted, the Frame Header and related setups are identical to the BERT and RFC 2544 Applications described
above. 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 tags
MPLS tags
Frame header per stream (if applicable)
Traffic profile per stream (if applicable)
Error injection per stream (if applicable)
Control settings of the far-end devices (if applicable).
