Figure 2 Relationship between the NQA client and NQA server


In most NQA tests, you only need to configure the NQA client; while in TCP, UDP echo, UDP jitter, and

voice tests, you must configure the NQA server.
You can create multiple TCP or UDP listening services on the NQA server, each of which corresponds to

a specified destination address and port number. The IP address and port number specified for a
listening service on the server must be consistent with those on the client and must be different from those

of an existing listening service.

NQA Test Operation

An NQA test operation involves the following steps:

1.

The NQA client constructs packets with the specified type, and sends them to the peer device.

2.

Upon receiving the packet, the peer device replies with a response with a timestamp.

3.

The NQA client computes the packet loss rate and RTT based on whether it has received the
response and the timestamp in the response.

NQA Configuration Task List

To perform TCP, UDP jitter, UDP echo or voice tests, configure the NQA server on the peer device.
Complete the following task to enable the NQA server:

Task Remarks

Configuring the NQA Server

Required for TCP, UDP echo, UDP jitter and voice tests


To perform an NQA test successfully, make the following configurations on the NQA client:

1.

Enable the NQA client;

2.

Create a test group and configure test parameters according to the test type. The test parameters
may vary with test types;

3.

Start the NQA test.

To view test results about the test, use the display or debug commands.
Complete these tasks to configure NQA client:
