7.9.2. Throughput Test
Throughput test determines the DUT’s maximum capable throughput rate without dropping any packets.
Testing throughput makes it clear of the following items:
the maximum transmission rate at which the DUT can forward different priority or VLAN levels of IP traffic
with no frame loss, or at an acceptable frame loss;
the way the DUT forward different priority traffic when they are being transmitted to the DUT;
the class of traffic more likely to be dropped when frame loss occurs.
Test method:
DApps-QoS calculates frame loss as:
Frame Loss = Number of Frames Transmitted - Number of Frames Received
The general methodology of the Throughput test is: the test finds the maximum transmission rate at
which the DUT can forward traffic for existing flows and/or groups.
During the test the transmission rate changes within a user-specified range, depending on whether the
current rate passed or failed. If a single frame is dropped or if loss exceeds the acceptable loss rate
specified, the test fails and the test stops or is repeated at a lower load, depending on the test mode
selected.
The Throughput configuration page allows you to customize the test duration, packet length, packet
transmission rate (%) for the desired testing environment.
