Subtests

Service Configuration Test verifies if the network configuration is
correct for each service before starting a long term test (Service
Configuration Test). To test the network configuration, a ramp test
and/or a burst tests is/are generated for each configured service.

Seconds per Service indicates the Service Configuration Test
duration in seconds based on the configured Services, Ramp, and
Burst settings.

Ramp Test check box when selected (default):
In the first stage of the test, when CIR check box is selected (see
SLA Parameters on page 196), the throughput is increased
incrementally in steps until the CIR level is reached. During the first
stage, the maximum Jitter, Latency, Frame Loss, and throughput
are measured and are compared to the SLA thresholds to declare a
pass/fail verdict.
In the second stage of the test, when the CIR+EIR check box is
selected (see SLA Parameters on page 196), the throughput is
increased to the CIR+EIR level to compare against expected
maximum throughput threshold to declare a pass/fail verdict.
In the third stage of the test, when the Traffic Policing check box is
selected (see Test Parameters on page 195), the throughput is
increased one step over the CIR+EIR if selected otherwise over
the CIR to compare against expected maximum throughput
threshold to declare a pass/fail verdict.
The ramp test procedure is generated for each enabled service.
