About RFC 2544 testing
Using the HST-3000 with an Ethernet SIM, you can run RFC
2544 tests which automate the procedures recommended in
RFC 2544 for Ethernet.
Classic RFC 2544 test—The classic RFC test prompts you to
select key parameters for throughput, round trip time, frame
loss rate, and back to back frame tests, runs the tests, and
then automatically generates a text file of results for the tests.
A PDF file is also generated which includes the test results in
tabular and graphical formats. PDFs are not generated in
every language; however, if a report is not generated in a
particular language, an English PDF will be generated.
Expert RFC 2544 test—The expert RFC test allows you to
configure and run the test just as you would any other test,
using the standard configuration menus and actions. When
you configure the test, you can indicate that you want to run a
symmetrical, or an upstream, downstream, or combined
asymmetrical test.
What’s new
This release of the Ethernet SIM supports system recovery
testing per RFC 2544. You can now use the HST to determine
the amount of time it takes for a network element to recover
from a state where it is dropping frames. For details, see
“About the System Recovery test” on page 205
Features and
capabilities
The Ethernet SIM supports the following features when
running the RFC 2544 tests:
– Q-in-Q support. You can transmit Q-in-Q encapsulated
traffic when running the test.
– PPPoE support. You can configure your unit to emulate a
PPP client, login to a PPP peer to establish a PPPoE
session, and then transmit IPv4 packets over an electrical
Ethernet circuit when running the test.
