10G copper/fiber wired performance tests for critical
links and key devices
The LinkRunner 10G works as a test peer with the EtherScope nXG Network
Performance Test (NPT) to stress critical network links, such as switch ports
to servers/storage/Wi-Fi access points, uplinks or WAN links, with up to
four simultaneous data streams at up to 10G line-rate. It verifies the link’s
compliance to service level agreements (SLA) based on throughput, packet
loss, QoS, delay and jitter.
This performance test can be run at up to full line-rate in order to measure
the top-end bandwidth and quality of your network from end-to-end, or for
particular network segments. It can also be utilized to bench-test switches for
optimal configuration prior to rollout into production. For troubleshooting
on a production network (where excessive test traic could be detrimental),
many users will configure the NPT feature with a low stream of traic (even
just 128Kbps) in order to characterize network quality, identify possible packet
loss, delay and jitter, and validate QoS.
Settings for data streams and thresholds for VoIP or video service can be
stored and recalled where needed, saving configuration time.
Fo
r key servers/services in the cloud or Internet, engineers can pre-define tests
and thresholds to verify their connectivity and performance using ping, TCP
connect, HTTP, or FTP. Continuous testing with response time measurements
is available to verify consistency and identify intermittent issues. These tests
can be easily recalled by field technicians to reduce configuration time or
mistakes, to get more done faster.
