1G Wired Performance Test (RFC 2544)
Purpose
The 1G Wired Performance (RFC 2544) test provides point-to-
point performance testing of a traffic stream across wired IPv4
network infrastructure. This test is typically used to validate
network performance. It quantifies network performance in
terms of throughput, loss, latency, and jitter.
The analyzer exchanges a stream of traffic with Peers or
Reflectors and measures the performance of the traffic stream.
You can run the test at a full line rate of up to 1 Gbps for
performance validation, or at lower speeds to minimize
disruption when troubleshooting operational networks.
The test is based on the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)
RFC 2544 Benchmarking Methodology for Network Interconnect
Devices.
You can use the Wired Performance Test to
 verify that a network configuration delivers the expected
performance
 evaluate newly deployed equipment
 evaluate network performance prior to deployment of new
services such as VoIP
Configuration
Network performance is measured between two points using two
analyzers. Therefore, configuration includes setting up source
and end-point analyzers. Traffic is exchanged and measured
between the source and the endpoint.
 The source is the OneTouch AT 10G analyzer on which the test
is configured and controlled.
 The endpoint is the remote device that exchanges traffic with
the source.
