Overview (Configuration)
When the Service Performance Test is enabled, up to 10 services can
be enabled one after the other, as long as the total TX Rate
(bandwidth) is not reached (Committed). For example, if the first
service is using the full bandwidth available, then no other service can
be enabled. If the first enabled service uses half bandwidth, then at
least another service can be enabled using up to half bandwidth. Thus,
to enable a second service, first set the CIR value within the non-used
bandwidth (Available), then enable it.
When the Service Performance Test is disabled, up to 10 services can
be enabled one after the other; the total TX rate is not limited.

Service Configuration Test
The objective of this test is to verify if the network configuration is
correct for each service before starting a long term test (Service
Configuration Test). In order to test the network configuration, a ramp
and/or a burst test(s) will be generated for each configured service.
The Service Configuration Test check box is selected by default.

Ramp Test
In the first stage of the test, when CIR check box is enabled, the
throughput will be increased incrementally in steps (see Step List
on page 336) until the CIR level is reached. During the first stage,
the maximum Jitter, Latency, Frame Loss, and throughput are
measured and will be compared to the SLA thresholds to declare a
pass/fail verdict.
In the second stage of the test, when the CIR+EIR check box is
enabled, the throughput will be increased to the CIR+EIR level to
compare against expected maximum throughput threshold to
declare a pass/fail verdict.
