Testing Network Performance

Use the traffic generator and monitor to pinpoint devices or network problems, or to measure current throughput, frame delay, and frame delay variation on a specific network segment. This article describes how to set up your Carrier Ethernet network...

Use a test suite to determine whether a network section or a device conforms to a Service Level Agreement (SLA) or an Ethernet standard. This procedure consists of: Setting up a test suite Running a test suite Viewing a test report N...

Y.1564 is used to perform end-to-end Ethernet service activation tests (SAT). The following sections describe how to set up Y.1564 in your Metro Ethernet network. The implementation of Y.1564 supports the following types of tests: Layer-2 two-...

You can set up the unit to enable the transfer of SAT test reports to a server. Once enabled, test reports are automatically transferred to the server each time a test is completed. Test reports are available for Y.1564. All reports are available ...

Services that have been created locally on the unit can be included in a Y.1564 or RFC-2544 test by enabling an internal loopback on one of the unit’s UNI ports to redirect the test traffic through the traffic policies. A test where an internal lo...
