RFC 2544

The AXS-200/850 allows performance testing as per RFC 2544, including
Throughput, Back-to-Back, Frame Loss and Latency subtests.

The RFC 2544 test has to be executed in conjunction with a remote
module. The remote module can be either in loopback configuration for
unidirectional testing or in the Dual Test Set RFC 2544 mode for
bidirectional testing.

The Dual Test Set RFC 2544 allows to measure RFC 2544 conformity where
the downstream characteristics are different from the upstream. The Dual
Test Set RFC 2544 adds the capability to the basic RFC 2544 test to perform
one way Throughput, Frame Loss, and Back to Back subtests. A test stream
is transmitted from the local module to the remote module, and from the
remote module to the local module. Results of both directions are
consolidated on the local module.

The RFC 2544 menu offers the following structure:
