Example of throughput test application.

The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has put together a test methodology to address the issues of performance verification at the
layer 2 and 3 level. RFC 2544, a “Benchmarking Methodology for Network Interconnect Devices,” specifies the requirements and
procedures for testing throughput (performance availability), back-to-back frames (link burstability), frame loss (service integrity) and
latency (transmission delay).

When these measurements are performed, they provide a baseline for service providers to define SLAs with their customers. They enable
service providers to validate the quality of service (QoS) delivered and can provide them with a tool to create value-added services that
can be measured and demonstrated to customers. For example, these tests provide performance statistics and commissioning
verification for virtual LANs (VLANs), virtual private networks (VPNs) and transparent LAN services (TLS), all of which use Ethernet as
an access technology.

The SLA criteria defined in RFC 2544 can be precisely measured using specialized test instruments. The performance verification
is usually done when the installation is completed. The measurements are done out-of-service to make sure that all parameters
are controlled.

RFC 2544 TEST SUITE

The following sections describe each of the RFC 2544 tests. The test
equipment used should be able to generate and analyze traffic for
10GBASE-xR or 10GBASE-xW full duplex networks at all frame sizes in
order to test transparent connectivity for LAN-to-LAN services delivered via
Next-Generation SONET/SDH, SONET/SDH hybrid multiplexers, switched
Ethernet, VLANs, dark fiber, WDM or other means. The instruments should
be capable of transmitting at full line rate, in order to allow the provider to
certify that the circuit is efficient and error-free at 100% utilization.

Some test instruments allow automated testing, which helps to ensure
repeatable results. Automation also provides ease of use for technicians in the
field by enabling accurate, efficient measurements and providing reports they
can give to customers for future reference related to their specific SLAs.

THROUGHPUT

Throughput is the maximum rate at which none of the offered frames are
dropped by the device under test (DUT) or network under test (NUT).
For example, the throughput test can be used to measure the rate-limiting
capability of a switch. The throughput is essentially equivalent to the
bandwidth.

The throughput test allows vendors to report a single value which has
proven to be useful in the marketplace. Since even the loss of one frame in
a data stream can cause significant delays while waiting for the higher level
protocols to time out, it is useful to know the actual maximum data rate that
the device can support. Measurements should be taken over an assortment
of frame sizes. Separate measurements should be made for routed and
bridged data in those devices that can support both. If there is a checksum
in the received frame, full checksum processing should be done.

Throughput test procedure:

1. Send a specific number of frames at a specific rate through the DUT/NUT
and then count the frames that are transmitted by the DUT/NUT.

2. If the count of offered frames is equal to the count of received frames, the rate
of the offered stream is raised and the test rerun.

3. If fewer frames are received than were transmitted, the rate of the offered stream
is reduced and the test is rerun.

4. The throughput is the fastest rate at which the count of test frames transmitted
by the DUT/NUT is equal to the number of test frames sent to it by the test equipment.

BURST (BACK-TO-BACK)

In this test, fixed-length frames are presented at a rate such that there
is the minimum legal separation for a given medium between frames
over a configurable period of time, starting from an idle state.
The back-to-back value is the number of frames in the longest burst
that the DUT/NUT will handle without the loss of any frames.

FTB-8510G

LATENCY

For store and forward devices, latency is the time interval starting when the last bit of the input frame reaches the input port and ending when
the first bit of the output frame is seen on the output port. Roundtrip latency is the time it takes a frame to come back to its starting point.
Variability of latency can be a problem. With technologies like VoIP, a variable or long latency can cause degradation in voice quality.

FRAME LOSS

Frame loss is the percentage of frames that should have been forwarded by a
network device under steady state (constant) loads that were not forwarded due
to lack of resources. This measurement can be used in reporting the
performance of a network device in an overloaded state. This can be a useful
indication of how a device would perform under pathological network conditions
such as broadcast storms.

Burst

Example of burst (back-to-back) test application.

Burst test procedure:

1. Send a burst of frames with minimum inter-frame gaps to the DUT/NUT

and count the number of frames forwarded by the DUT/NUT.

2. If the count of transmitted frames is equal to the number of frames forwarded, the length of the burst is increased and the test is rerun.

3. If the number of forwarded frames is less than the number transmitted, the length of the burst is reduced and the test is rerun.

4. The back-to-back value is the number of frames in the longest burst that the DUT/NUT will handle without the loss of any frames.

5. The trial length must be at least 2 seconds and should be repeated at least 50 times with the average of the recorded values being reported.

Frame loss test procedure:

1. Send a specific number of frames at a specific rate through the DUT/NUT to be tested

and count the frames that are transmitted by the DUT/NUT.

2. The frame loss at a particular line rate is calculated using the following equation:

% Frame loss = Transmitted frames – Received frames X 100

Transmitted frames

3. Measurement should be done for different frame sizes.

Latency test procedure:

1. Determine the throughput of the DUT/NUT for each frame size.

2. Send a stream of frames at a particular frame size through the DUT/NUT at

the determined throughput rate to a specific destination.

3. Send a tagged frame after 60 seconds and store timestamp (A). Capture tag

frame on reception side and store timestamp (B).

4. The latency is timestamp B minus timestamp A.

5. The test must be repeated at least 20 times with the reported value being the

average of the recorded values.

BERT OVER ETHERNET

Because transparent transport of Ethernet over physical media is becoming a
common service, Ethernet is increasingly carried across a variety of layer 1 media
over longer distances. There is therefore a growing need to certify Ethernet transport
on a bit-per-bit basis. This can be done using bit-error-rate testing (BERT).

BERT uses a pseudo-random binary sequence (PRBS) encapsulated into an
Ethernet frame, making it possible to go from a frame-based error measurement
to a bit-error-rate measurement. This provides the bit-per-bit error count accuracy
required for the acceptance testing of physical-medium transport systems.

BERT over Ethernet should be used when Ethernet is carried transparently over
layer 1 media, in cases such as:

Ethernet-over-DWDM
Ethernet-over-CWDM
Ethernet-over-dark fiber

FRAME ANALYSIS

This FTB-8510G Packet Blazer feature enables multistream traffic generation
and analysis allowing for the troubleshooting of Ethernet circuits as well as
customer-traffic analysis and error identification. Thanks to its packet jitter
measurement capability (RFC 3393), the FTB-8510G lets service providers
efficiently benchmark transport networks when it comes to delay-sensitive traffic
such as voice-over-IP (VoIP).

SMART LOOPBACK

This feature allows transmitting back the received stream of data.
To perform an end-to-end frame analysis, BERT or RFC 2544
across a layer 2, traffic needs to be looped back to the originator.
A remote unit running the Smart Loopback mode will allow traffic
to be returned to the local unit by swapping packet overhead up
to layer 4.

ETHERNET SERVICE ACCEPTANCE TESTING

The type of testing required for Ethernet service acceptance
testing depends on how the service is carried on the network.
The opposite figure shows how to test for switched transport
or transparent physical transport using either RFC 2544 tests or
BERT-over-Ethernet.

All of the tests that are part of the service-level agreement can be
performed on either part of the network (end-to-core) or on all of it
(end-to-end). For both switched transport and transparent physical
transport, end-to-end testing can be performed by using two
portable units and testing from one end to the other. Another way
of doing this is to send a technician to one site and test using
a second test device that is mounted in the network (e.g., in a
central office). This type of testing is useful when two technicians
cannot be sent at the same time or when the service provider is
providing access to the Internet.
