Ethernet Testing Before Testing

Application

Presentation

Session

Transport

Network

Data Link

Physical

Determine at what layer youll be testing:

Layer 3: Routed network

Need valid source (static or DHCP) anddestination IP addresses

Need Valid Gateway IP address

Layer 2: Network switches

VLAN?

Need to configure MAC address sourceand destination in test traffic

Layer 1:

Copper or Fiber?

850,1310,1550nm?

10,100,1000BaseT?

Auto-negotiation or fixed?

Key Ethernet Metrics

Link Status

Link Up/Down

For copper link need to verify speed 10/100/1000Mbps and Full/Halfduplex

ALL modern equipment supports full duplex

If you get half-duplex link verify the settings

For fiber link need to verify wavelength or optical power

CRC errors Frame check sequence detects bit errors

MAC Test PatternFCS/CRC


17/31


Frame Loss

Network Equipment drops errored frames. To detect frame loss, the test frames need to include a sequence

number tag.

Ethernet standard does not include sequence number.

Throughput Rate

What is the maximum data rate that your network can handle?

Congested equipment will drop frames.


18/31


Time stamp Time stamp

Frame Transfer Delay

round trip or 1-way delay important for time-sensitive applications(example mobile backhaul signaling traffic)

1-way delay requires time synchronization

Jitter Frame Delay Variation

Metric used for jitter sensitive applications that require constant ratelike VoIP or Video.


19/31

Ethernet Test Standards RFC2544 and Y.1564

RFC2544: IETF standard Benchmarking Methodology for Network InterconnectDevices. The test suite includes: Throughput, Latency, Frame Loss and Back-to-back

(burst) test.

ITU-T Y.1564 defines an out-of-service test methodology

Service Activation Test Methodology (SAM) EtherSAM, V-SAM, etc.

Users can assess the proper configuration and performance of an Ethernet

service prior to customer delivery. In particular, Y.1564 is aimed at addressing and solving the deficiencies of

RFC 2544

Benefits to the User

Total test time is drastically reduced - Services are being tested over a longerduration simultaneously, and all the SLA parameters are also measuredsimultaneously.

Results reporting - clear and simple Pass/Fail indication in Green/Red. This isfor each test, each service, with a global indication.


20/31

Ethernet Test Standards RFC2544 vs Y.1564

Frame Loss Yes Yes

Test Duration Long (serialized test procedure) Short (simultaneoustest/service)

Test Result Link performance limit Related to SLA, fast, simple,Pass/Fail


21/31

Ethernet Test Standards CIR and EIR

Committed Information Rate (CIR):

Guaranteed maximum rate at which the customer can send frames that are assured to

be forwarded through the network without being dropped.

Excess Information Rate (EIR):

Maximum rate above the CIR at which the customer can send frames that will beforwarded on a best effort basis, but may be dropped in the event of congestion within

the network. Traffic beyond CIR + EIR will be dropped when it enters the carriersnetwork.
