Performance Tests
Performance tests comprise of RFC 2544 tests and IP or MAC
Loopback tests. These tests are used to verify the performance
of network between two network points. Using this performance
tests tool, you can perform the following:
• MAC or IP Loopback Test — go to “Performing a MAC or IP
Loopback” on page 55.
• RFC 2544 Throughput Test — go to “RFC 2544 Throughput
Test” on page 57.
• RFC 2544 Round-trip Latency Test — go to “RFC 2544
Round-trip Latency Test” on page 57.
• RFC 2544 Frame Loss Rate Test - go to ““RFC 2544 Frame
Loss Rate Test” on page 58
• RFC 2544 Back To Back Test - go to “RFC 2544 Back to Back
Test” on page 58
General settings for the master FrameScope
To start off any performance test, follow the steps below:
1 Connect two FrameScope or a FrameScope with loopback
device (for RFC 2544 test only) to the network. Connect one
at each end of the network circuit you want to test. See
“Connecting to the Network and Using the FrameScope Pro”
on page 22.
NOTE
All performance tests require two FrameScope or a loopback device (for
RFC 2544 test only); one at each end of the network circuit to be tested.
