4.7 Throughput Testing
The on demand throughput allows you to measure throughput between two 9145Es by sending
synthetic Transport Control Protocol (TCP) or User Datagram protocol (UDP) frames from one
NID to the other on a specific Ethernet Virtual Connection (EVC). The user can initiate the test
any time from one 9145E to another 9145E on the remote side. The initiating 9145E will first
send an invitation to the target 9145E. As soon as the target 9145E accepts the invitation, the
initiating 9145E will start sending test data packets to the target 9145E at a user specified data
rate, test duration and data type. The target 9145E counts the receiving test data packets and
sends back the statistical result to the initiating 9145E when the test duration is over. The
initiating 9145E calculates the throughput based on the partner's report and displays on the user
interface. Packet generation rate can be up to 99% of the line rate.
Throughput test data packets can be untagged, single tagged or double tagged. Packet size will
be a fixed 128 bytes, including VLAN tags and CRC. The network may add or remove VLAN
tags, so actual packet size received may be less or more than 128 bytes. The 9145E will use a
signature in synthetic throughput frames to distinguish them from regular traffic. mode.
NOTE: To enable Throughput Measurement contact Canoga Perkins Tech Support for a license
key. Be sure to have the Feature name and 9145E Serial number available.
Figure 4-51 Throughput Test screen
The throughput test can only generate traffic from the Network Port. The test IP is the only IP
address that can be used for the test. The user has to enable this feature from the license
manager screen (see Chapter 7, Utilities).
