Stress Tests
TestIPSecEncryptDecryptPkt
The TestIPSecEncryptDecryptPkt test checks the encryption functionality by exchanging a packet
between the supervisor engine in-band port and the crypto engine of the IPSec services modules
(WS-SVC-IPSEC, SPA-IPSEC) using the switch fabric or bus (whichever is applicable). After several
exchanges, the packet is checked to verify that the original data is preserved after the encryption and
decryption process performed by the crypto engine. The Layer 2 lookup drives the packet between the
supervisor in-band port and the crypto engine.

TestTrafficStress
The TestTrafficStress test stress tests the switch and the installed modules by configuring all of the ports
on the modules into pairs, which then pass packets between each other. After allowing the packets to
pass through the switch for a predetermined period, the test verifies that the packets are not dropped.
