RFC-2544 Test Procedures

The following procedures describe how to measure throughput, frame loss, round trip delay, and jitter
(delay variation) with the HST-3000 in accordance with the RFC-2544 Metro Ethernet benchmarking
methodology.
Test procedures are described for:
• Electrical (Copper/RJ-45) and Optical (Single Mode and Multimode Fiber) handoffs
• 10Mbps, 100Mbps, and 1Gbps links
• Layer 2 and Layer 3 IPv4 testing
• JDSU HST-3000, T-BERD 5800, T-BERD 6000A, and SmartClass Ethernet loopback devices
Procedures are described for RFC-2544 Tests to verify throughput, round trip delay, jitter, and frame
loss SLA metrics. Technicians should follow procedure in one of the following sections, depending on
his location (A-side or Z-side) and whether he is using a T-BERD 5800, T-BERD 6000A, SmartClass
Ethernet, or HST-3000 test equipment. The RFC-2544 test is run from the A-Side. The Z-side is
placed in loopback.
