Setting Up a Y.1564 Test

When you click in this field, a dialog pops up. You can select a device from the Skylight orchestrator inventory

A maximum of 28 characters is supported. Do not include spaces, forward slashes, or backslashes in the name.

Note: You must enable the SAT protocol in order to use one-way delay measurements.

When this option is disabled, the tests will be performed, but valid results will be displayed only if both devices performing the Y.1564 test are synchronized using one of the supported timing mechanisms. This type of test may be useful to test applications where delay is not important, but other parameters, such as CIR or EIR, are important.

Note: For one-way delay measurement only.

Range: 1–60 seconds.

Note: This parameter is also used for the burst SLA Test.

Range: 1–1,440 minutes

It allows you to run successive tests at rates of 25% CIR, 50% CIR, 75% CIR, and 100% of CIR, CIR+EIR, and Policing.

For Policing:

• If EIR < 20 % x CIR, Policing Rate = (125 % x CIR) + EIR
• If EIR ≥ 20 % x CIR, Policing Rate = CIR + (125 % x EIR)

You must configure at least one service when you enable performance test.

Note: The performance test is run at 100% CIR.

• Enable: All enabled services (traffic flows) are run simultaneously.
• Disable: All enabled services (traffic flows) are run sequentially.

• Layer-2: Y.1731 LBM frames.
• Layer-2 Accedian: Y.1731 LBM frames marked with the Accedian Ethertype.
• Layer-2 generic: Special Y.1731 OpCode frames to be used only with loopback devices based on the MAC-address swap.
• Layer-3: UDP segments to perform a test across a multilayered network.

• Checked: Skylight orchestrator creates only one test for each remote unit that is featured in an enabled flow having the OW Reverse Path option checked.
• Unchecked: Skylight orchestrator creates one test for each enabled flow of all remote units that have the OW Reverse Path option checked.

Note: Applies to Layer-3 traffic only.

Notes:

Applies to Layer-3 traffic only.

For reporting to work properly, you must set the port to a value in the range of 0–65535 but you cannot set the destination port value to 8793, since this is Accedian's proprietary port number. For information on destination ports default values, refer to.

Values range from 1 to 8 and are not user editable.

• If EIR < 20 % x CIR, Policing Rate = (125 % x CIR) + EIR
• If EIR ≥ 20 % x CIR, Policing Rate = CIR + (125 % x EIR)

Note: Applies to one-way delay tests only.

The CIR and EIR values specified in the bandwidth profile are used by the Y.1564 tool to define the Configuration, Performance and Policing Tests to be executed.

Possible values:

• max
• avg

Possible values:

• max
• avg

The policing test will pass if IR-T ≤ CIR + EIR + M.

Where:

• IR-T: Total Information Rate
• CIR: Committed Information Rate
• EIR: Excess Information Rate
• M: M factor.

This encapsulates all frames with one VLAN header.

If the VLAN 1 header is enabled, the packet size increases by 4 bytes.

For example:

• If the packet size is set to 64 and the VLAN 1 header is not enabled, the traffic generator will send packets of 64 bytes.
• If the packet size is set to 64 and the VLAN 1 header is enabled, the traffic generator will send packets of 68 bytes.

When enabled, all test frames are encapsulated with the specified VLAN ID.

Possible values are:

• S-VLAN
• T-VLAN
• C-VLAN

Note: Applies only when the VLAN 1 header is enabled.

Note: Applies only when the VLAN 1 header is enabled.

In order to use two VLAN headers, both VLAN 1 and VLAN 2 headers must be enabled.

If VLAN 1 and VLAN 2 headers are both enabled, the packet size increases by 8 bytes. For example:

• If the packet size is set to 64 and both VLAN 1 and VLAN 2 headers are enabled, the traffic generator will send packets of 72 bytes.

Note: Applies only when the VLAN 2 header is enabled.

Possible values are:

• S-VLAN
• T-VLAN
• C-VLAN

Note: Applies only when the VLAN 2 header is enabled.

Note: Applies only when the VLAN 2 header is enabled.

Note: After enabling VLAN 1 header, the packet size increases by 4 bytes and after enabling VLAN 2 header, the packet size increases by 8 bytes.

For example:

If the packet size is set to 64 and VLAN 1 header is not enabled: The traffic generator will send 64 bytes packets.

If the packet size is set to 64 and VLAN 1 header is enabled: The traffic generator will send 68 bytes packets.

If the packet size is set to 64 and VLAN 2 header is enabled: The traffic generator will send 72 bytes packets.

When enabled, all test frames are encapsulated with the specified VLAN ID.

Possible values are:

• S-VLAN
• T-VLAN
• C-VLAN

Note: Applies only when the VLAN 1 header is enabled.

Note: Applies only when the VLAN 1 header is enabled.

Note: After enabling VLAN 1 header, the packet size increases by 4 bytes and after enabling VLAN 2 header, the packet size increases by 8 bytes.

For example:

1) If the packet size set to 64 and VLAN 1 header is not enabled: The traffic generator will send 64 bytes packets.

2) If the packet size set to 64 and VLAN 1 header is enabled: The traffic generator will send 68 bytes packets.

3) If the packet size set to 64 and VLAN 2 header is enabled: The traffic generator will send 72 bytes packets.

Note: Applies only when the VLAN 2 header is enabled.

Possible values are:

• S-VLAN
• T-VLAN
• C-VLAN

Note: Applies only when the VLAN 2 header is enabled.

Note: Applies only when the VLAN 2 header is enabled.

Note: Applies to one-way Layer-3 reverse-path tests only.

Note: Applies to Layer-3 traffic only.

Notes:

Applies to two-way delay measurements only.

This field is ignored if TW loopback is not selected..

Note: Applies to Layer-3 traffic only.

• A one-way reverse path from the far-end device.
• A loopback for a two-way Layer-3 test on the remote device.

If this option is not selected, the remote network field is ignored and can be left blank.

You may choose this configuration if you want to perform a two-way Layer-3 test so you can configure the far-end device as a Layer-3 reflector at a later time.

Note: Applies to Layer-2 traffic only.

Range: 0–7

Note: Applies to Layer-2 traffic only.

This option also instructs the peer unit to verify the value received against the one defined for the Far-End Expected Value. The test will fail if this criterion is not met.
