Ethernet RFC 2544 Test

78 AXS-200/805/855

Throughput Configuration

The objective of this test is to find the throughput of the device under test

for which there is no frame loss. Starting at the specified maximum rate

(Maximum Rate), the rate converges towards the highest throughput

without frame loss with the test having a predefined duration (Test Time).

The search is done with a halving/doubling method until a final value is

reached. The throughput measurement is validated the number of times

specified (Nb. of Validations). The Accuracy (Frames) settings specify

how precise that result must be. The test is performed for each defined

frame size.

Press , select ETHERNET, RFC 2544, Configuration, and the

Throughput tab.

Note: This page is not available when the Dual Test Set parameter is set to

Remote in Global Configuration on page 70.

Note: Throughput must be enabled from Global Configuration on page 70.

³ Test Time (MM:SS): Enter the

Test Time value in seconds.

Possible values are 1 second to

30 minutes. The default setting is

1 second (00:01).

³ Accuracy: Enter the Accuracy

value as a percentage of the line

rate or in Mbps. The accuracy is

not based on the configured

Maximum Rate but on the

Ethernet line rate.
