2 Network Testing with the FrameScope Pro
Performance Tests
Performance tests are used to verify the network performance
between two network points. The available types of
performance tests to test the network are as listed.
• RFC 2544 Throughput Test — refer to “RFC 2544 Throughput
Test” on page 50.
• RFC 2544 Round-trip Latency Test — refer to “RFC 2544
Round-Trip Latency Test” on page 50.
• RFC 2544 Frame Loss Rate Test — refer to “ “RFC 2544 Frame
Loss Rate Test” on page 51.
• RFC 2544 Back-To-Back Test — refer to “RFC 2544
Back-to-Back Test” on page 51.
• MAC or IP Loopback Test — refer to “Performing a MAC or IP
Loopback Tests” on page 68.
• TCP/UDP Throughput Test — refer to “Performing UDP or
TCP Throughput Tests” on page 71.
• Packet Error Rate Test (PERT) — refer to “Performing Packet
Error Rate Tests” on page 73.
N O T E
All performance tests require two FrameScope Pro units or one
FrameScope Pro and a loopback device (loopback test mode is only
available for RFC 2544 tests and PERT), one at each end of the network
circuit to be tested.
