6.3 RFC2544
Overview:
RFC 2544 recommendations are well accepted in the test and measurement industry for network performance testing. The RFC 2544 test suite consists of and performs a
set of four automated tests (throughput, latency, frame loss, and burst or back-to-back) to qualify the performance of a network link under test. The tests are especially
popular for the verification of network links with certain service level agreements (SLA).
The following settings must be configured prior to RFC 2544 testing:
Test layer (Layer 2 & 3)
Frame header (MAC, VLAN, IP, UDP, and Data)
Test frames selection
Pass/fail thresholds (optional)
Throughput
Latency
Frame loss
Burst (back-to-back)
RFC2544 Header Setup (Layer 2)
6.3.1 Setup
Unless otherwise noted, the Frame Header and related setups are identical to the setups described in the BERT Application. A summary of the RFC 2544 setup options are
outlined below.
6.3.1.1 Header Settings
Profile:
Load a previously configured test profile or create a new profile from existing settings. Currently its set to "Default".
Test Layer:
Select the test layer to perform the test. Options are Layer 2, Layer 3 or Layer 4.
Frame Type:
Select the Ethernet frame type for Layer 2 or Layer 3.
Layer 2:
Ethernet II (DIX) (named after DEC, Intel, and Xerox, this is the most common frame type today),
802.3 Raw (IEEE 802.3 frame without LLC) - Not available when Layer 3 is selected
Layer 3: Ethernet II (DIX)
VLAN:
Off, 1 tag, 2 tags, 3 tags
Up to three VLAN tags (VLAN stacking for Q-in-Q applications) can be configured.
Note:
VLAN stacking is an option.
MPLS
(only for Layer 3 & 4)
:
Off, 1 tag, 2 tags, 3 tags
Up to three MPLS tags can be configured.
Note:
MPLS tag configuration is only available when the MPLS option is purchased.
PROTOCOL
(Only for Layer 4)
:
UDP or TCP
