Delay jitter refers to the difference between the interval of receiving two packets consecutively and the
interval of sending these two packets. The procedure of a UDP-jitter test is as follows:

z

The source sends packets at regular intervals to the destination port.

z

The destination affixes a time stamp to each packet that it receives and then sends it back to the
source.

z

Upon receiving the packet, the source calculates the delay jitter, and the network status can be
analyzed.

Configuration prerequisites

A UDP-jitter test requires cooperation between the NQA server and the NQA client. Before the
UDP-jitter test, make sure that the UDP listening function is configured on the NQA server.

Configuring the UDP-jitter test

Follow these steps to configure the UDP-jitter test:

To do…

Use the command…

Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

Enter NQA test group view

nqa

entry admin-name

operation-tag

Configure the test type as
UDP-jitter and enter test type view

type udp-jitter

Required

Configure the destination address
for a test operation

destination ip

ip-address

Required
By default, no destination IP
address is configured for a test
operation.
The destination IP address must
be consistent with that of the
existing listening service on the
NQA server.

Configure the destination port for a
test operation

destination port

port-number

Required
By default, no destination port
number is configured for a test
operation.
The destination port must be
consistent with that of the existing
listening service on the NQA
server.

Specify the source port number for
a request

source port port-number

Optional
By default, no source port number
is specified.

Configure the size of a probe
packet sent

data-size

size

Optional
100 bytes by default.

Configure the string of fill
characters of a probe packet sent

data-fill

string

Optional
The string of fill characters of an
ICMP probe packet is the string
corresponding to the ASCII code
00 to 09 by default.

Configure the number of
consecutive packets in a UDP-jitter
probe

probe packet-number

packet-number

Optional
10 by default.

Configure the interval for sending
consecutive packets

probe packet-interval
packet-interval

Optional
20 milliseconds by default.
