Page 129: Rfc2544 Tests
RFC2544 Tests 3.8 RFC2544 Tests RFC2544 is a benchmarking methodology that defines several tests for describing the performance characteristics of a network device (or complete network). The Network Master includes several setups (test modes) for covering all aspects of RFC2544 testing. Note: RFC2544 tests require the RFC2544 test option.
Page 130 Chapter 3 Application Ethernet Test Mode pane The RFC2544 test mode and test port(s) are set at the Test Mode pane. Note The RFC2544 tests run independently on two ports. If both ports are selected, the port panes display the Port A/B soft key. Use this soft key to select which port to set.
Page 131 RFC2544 Tests The only setups at the Slave side are the source addresses and enabling of Accept incoming End-to-End configuration frames. The complete RFC2544 setup is transferred from the Master when the test is started. Note: When the test is started at the Master, a pop-up on the Slave indicates that the unit is being remotely controlled and displays a Disconnect key.
Page 132 Chapter 3 Application Ethernet Duration pane All RFC2544 tests are executed in steps. A step is a specific combination of a frame size and line load. During a step, frames with the specified size are transmitted at the specific line load. The number of steps run during a test depends on the selected number of frame sizes and line loads.
Page 133 RFC2544 Tests Frame Size pane The Frame Size pane has checkboxes for the predefined sizes 64, 128, 256, 512, 768, 1024, 1280, 1518 and Jumbo Frame. The jumbo frame size can be set from 1519 to 10000. Figure 3.8.1-4 RFC2544 Throughput Setup Screen, Frame Size Pane Note The RFC test cannot be started without selecting at least one frame size.
Page 134 Chapter 3 Application Ethernet If the Auto Search checkbox is checked, the test finds the maximum line load at which no frames are lost, using the specified Resolution and search mode. When Auto Search is selected the Step parameter is not used.
Page 135 RFC2544 Tests Advanced pane Figure 3.8.1-6 RFC2544 Throughput Setup Screen, Advanced Pane Various test-specific settings are on the Advanced pane. When the Transmit learning frames prior to test checkbox is selected, the RFC2544 test sends learning frames before the first test-step starts on each port.
Page 136: Rfc2544 Latency Test Setup
Chapter 3 Application Ethernet 3.8.2 RFC2544 Latency Test Setup The RFC2544 Latency test measures the latency of frames forwarded by the DUT to clarify the DUT processing overhead for forwarding forward frames. The test is performed for different line loads for a specific frame size.
Page 137 RFC2544 Tests Test Mode pane [1] Selects RFC2544 test mode [2] Selects RFC2544 test port(s) Note The RFC2544 tests run independently on two ports. If both ports are selected, the port specific panes display a Port A/B soft key. Use this soft key to select the port to setup. The RFC2544 Latency test runs in three modes: Item Description...
Page 138 Chapter 3 Application Ethernet Duration pane All RFC2544 tests are executed in steps. A step is a specific combination of a frame size and line load. During a step, frames with the specified size are transmitted at the specific line load. The number of steps run during a test depends on the selected number of frame sizes and line loads.
Page 139 RFC2544 Tests Line Load pane The line load range used in the test is specified as Min: and Max. The load is varied in intervals using the value specified in the Step field. The test always starts at Max: and decreases until the line load is equal to Min.
Page 140 Chapter 3 Application Ethernet Note The reference function requires the Throughput and Latency tests to be in the same mode. Hence, it cannot be used when the Latency test is in the Router Latency mode. The two tests must also use the same port(s).
Page 141: Rfc2544 Burst Test Setup
RFC2544 Tests 3.8.3 RFC2544 Burst Test Setup The RFC2544 Burst test is also called the burstability or back-to-back test. It determines the largest number of frames transmitted with minimum IFG (Inter Frame Gap) that the DUT can handle without frame loss. Up to eight RFC2544 Burst tests can be added to the test schedule in Test Automator.
Page 142 Chapter 3 Application Ethernet Test Mode pane The Test Mode setup is similar to that of the RFC2544 Throughput test setup. See section 3.8.1 for further details. Duration pane All RFC2544 tests are executed in steps. A step is a specific combination of a frame size and burst size.
Page 143 RFC2544 Tests Burst Size pane Burst Sizes can be set in two modes: Stepped or Constant. Use the Burst Mode field to select the mode. Figure 3.8.3-2 RFC2544 Burst Setup Screen, Burst Size Pane in Stepped Mode In the Stepped mode, the test burst size range is specified by Start burst size and End burst size.
