RFC2544

The Internet Engineering Task Force RFC 2544 is a benchmarking methodology for network
interconnects devices
RFC 2544 provides engineers and network technicians with a common language and results format.
The RFC 2544 for the current release implements the following subtests:
Throughput: measures the maximum rate at which none of the offered frames are dropped by the
device/system under test
.
Frame loss: defines the percentage of frames that should have been forwarded by a network
device under steady state (constant) loads that were not forwarded due to lack of resources.
Latency: measures the round-trip time taken by a test frame to travel through a network device or
across the network and back to the test port. Latency is the time interval that begins when the last
bit of the input frame reaches the input port and ends when the first bit of the output frame is seen
on the output port. It is the time taken by a bit to go through the network and back.
