Configuring the
UDP-echo Test
n
You are not recommended to perform an NQA UDP test on ports from 1 to 1023
(known ports). Otherwise, the NQA test will fail or the corresponding services of
this port will be unavailable.
The UDP-echo test is used to test the roundtrip time of a UDP-echo packet from
the client to the specified server.
Configuration prerequisites
A UDP-echo test requires cooperation between the NQA server and the NQA
client. The UDP listening function needs to be configured on the NQA server
before the UDP-echo test.
