About symmetrical RFC 2544 tests

– IPv6 support. If you purchased the IPv6 Traffic option, you
can transmit IPv6 traffic when running the test.
– Layer 4 support. If you purchased the TCP/UDP option,
you can transmit layer 4 traffic when running the test.
– Graphical output of key results. When running the tests,
frame loss, throughput, and latency (round trip delay)
results are now displayed graphically in their own result
categories.
– Status bar. A status bar is also provided that lets you
know how far the test has progressed, and provides an
estimate of the time remaining to run the test.
– Expert RFC 2544 test. You can run symmetrical or asym-
metrical Expert RFC 2544 tests. When running an asym-
metrical test, you can run the test upstream, downstream,
or in both directions.
– Asymmetric testing. You can run the Expert RFC 2544
test in asymmetric mode in an end-to-end configuration.
This is useful for testing circuits carrying traffic at different
upstream and downstream line rates. The test is initiated
by a master tester (on the near end). The master tester
then automatically configures the slave tester on the far
end.
– JDSU Discovery. You can now discover other test instru-
ments on the same subnet, and automatically configure
your instrument to run the test using one of the discov-
ered instruments as its test partner.
The Classic RFC 2544 test, or the Expert RFC 2544 test in
symmetrical mode is useful if the uplink and downlink speeds
on the circuit you are testing are the same. When running this
test, the tester on the near-end loops up a tester on the far
