Ethernet RFC 2544 Test
Multi Protocol Test Set 79
Throughput Configuration
The accepted values are as follows:
³ Nb. of Validations: Select the number of times the result should be
validated. Choices are 1 to 50 times. The default setting is 1 time.
³ Maximum Rate: Select the Maximum Rate so that the throughput test
should begin with, in terms of a percentage of the line rate or in Mbps.
The accepted values are as follows:
³ Verdict Threshold: Select the threshold value in percentage of the line
rate or in Mbps. If the determined throughput value is greater or equal
to the threshold value, the test is declared as PA SS. If the determined
throughput value for a specific frame size is lower than the threshold
value, the test is declared as FAIL. This value applies to all the 7 RFC
2544 frame sizes or for the 7 user-defined frame sizes.
Interface Accuracy
Speed % Mbps
10 Mbps 0.1 - 10,
default = 1
0.01 - 1, default = 0.1
100 Mbps 0.1 - 10, default = 1.0
1000 Mbps 1 - 100, default = 10
Interface Maximum Rate
Speed % Mbps
10 Mbps 0.001 - 100.000,
default =
100.000
0.001 - 10.000, default = 10.000
100 Mbps 0.001 - 100.000, default = 100.000
1000 Mbps 0.001 - 1000.000, default = 1000.000
