Figure 6 802.3 MAC frame formats. Major changes in IEEE 802.3 frame format are the SDF field which is basically a name change, the Length field enables internal management of the padding field, so that higher protocols no longer need to provide their own padding mechanism.In 1997 Full Duplex support was implemented and it was necessary to use the DIX Type field to differentiate the MAC control protocol.Pause Frame which used for the Flow Control protocol. The unit of the Pause time equivalent to 512 bits time. If the Pause time is 0, it is a request to resume the transmission.

RFC 2544RFC 2544 discusses and defines a number of tests that may be used to describe the performance characteristics of a network inter-connecting device. In addition to defining the tests this document also describes specific formats for reporting the results of the tests.

Benchmarking tests:Note: The notation “type of data stream” refers to the above modifi-cations to a frame stream with a constant inter-frame gap, for example, the addition of traffic filters to the configuration of the DUT.

ThroughputObjective: To determine the DUT throughput defined in RFC 1242. Procedure: Send a specific number of frames at a specific rate through the DUT and then count the frames that are transmitted by the DUT. If the count of transmitted frames is equal to the count of received frames, increase the throughput and rerun the test. Rerun the test until fewer frames are transmitted by the DUT than were received by it. The throughput is the fastest rate at which the count of test frames transmitted by the DUT is equal to the number of test frames sent to it by the test equipment.

LatencyObjective: To determine the latency as defined in RFC 1242.Procedure: First determine the throughput for DUT at each of the listed frame sizes. Send a stream of frames at a particular frame size through the DUT at the determined throughput rate to a spe-cific destination. The stream should be at least 120 seconds in duration. An identifying tag should be included in one frame after 60 seconds with the type of tag being implementation dependent. The time at which this frame is fully transmitted is recorded (timestamp A). The receiver logic in the test equipment MUST recognize the tag information in the frame stream and record the time at which the tagged frame was received (timestamp B). The latency is times-tamp B minus timestamp A as per the relevant definition from RFC 1242, namely latency as defined for store and forward devices or latency as defined for bit forwarding devices.

Frame Loss RateObjective: To determine the frame loss rate, RFC 1242, of a DUT throughout the entire range of input data rates and frame sizes. Procedure: Send a specific number of frames at a specific rate through the DUT to be tested and count the frames that are trans-mitted by the DUT. The frame loss rate at each point is calculated using the following equation:

((input_count - output_count) * 100) / input_count

The first trial should be run for the frame rate that corresponds to 100% of the maximum rate for the frame size on the input media. Repeat the procedure for the rate that corresponds to 90% of the maximum rate used and then for 80% of this rate. This sequence should be continued (at reducing 10% intervals) until there are two successive trials in which no frames are lost. The maximum granu-larity of the trials MUST be 10% of the maximum rate, a finer gran-ularity is encouraged.

Back-to-Back FramesObjective: To characterize the ability of a DUT to process back-to-back frames as defined in RFC 1242. Procedure: Send a burst of frames with minimum inter-frame gaps to the DUT and count the number of frames forwarded by it. If the count of transmitted frames is equal to the number of frames for-warded, the length of the burst is increased and the test is rerun. If the number of forwarded frames is less than the number transmit-ted, the length of the burst is reduced and the test is rerun. The back-to-back value is the number of frames in the longest burst that the DUT will handle without the loss of any frames. 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.

System RecoveryObjective: To characterize the speed at which a DUT recovers from an overload condition. Procedure: First determine the throughput for a DUT at each of the listed frame sizes. Send a stream of frames at a rate 110% of the recorded throughput rate or the maximum rate for the media, whichever is lower, for at least 60 seconds. At Timestamp A reduce the frame rate to 50% of the above rate and record the time of the last frame lost (Timestamp B). The system recovery time is deter-mined by subtracting Timestamp B from Timestamp A. The test should be repeated a number of times and the average of the recorded values being reported.

ResetObjective: To characterize the speed at which a DUT recovers from a device or software reset.Procedure: First determine the throughput for the DUT for the mini-mum frame size on the media used in the testing. Send a continu-ous stream of frames at the determined throughput rate for the minimum-sized frames. Cause a reset in the DUT. Monitor the out-put until frames begin to be forwarded, and record the time that the last frame (Timestamp A) of the initial stream and the first frame of the new stream (Timestamp B) are received. A power interruption reset test is performed as above, except that the power to the DUT should be interrupted for 10 seconds in place of causing a reset. This test should only be run using frames addressed to networks directly connected to the DUT, so that there is no requirement to delay until a routing update is received. The reset value is obtained by subtracting Timestamp A from Timestamp B. Hardware and soft-ware resets, as well as a power interruption should be tested.
