8.1.5 Control Settings
Overview:
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 / 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.
