Figure 6-10 Throughput - Results
6.8.3 Throughput server setup
The Throughput test requires a testing destination that is specifically designed to recognize and process
throughput exchanges with the unit. This destination must be an HTTP (web) server running on a
networked computer and installed with Spirent-specific components. The following procedure is a broad
overview of server installation and setup.
NOTE: To accomplish this task successfully, a basic knowledge of web server administration and
python scripting is recommended. For assistance with setup and troubleshooting, please
contact Spirent.
1. Download and install the web server - The supported web server is the Apache HTTP Server,
available at the time of this writing at:
http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi
You should select the most recent stable (alpha) release for your platform (Windows, etc.). Install it
using default parameters except for the requested web administrator email address, which you may
want to change to the real address of an administrator (perhaps yourself). Note the following:
• The server must be set to listen on port 80 for HTTP requests.
• Depending on the platform and installation type, you may need to manually start the server
following installation. See the Apache documentation for more information.
2. Download and install an ActiveState python package - At the time of this writing, the latest stable
python packages are available at:
