66..1010 RFC 6349RFC 6349
The RFC 6349 Framework for TCP Throughput Testing describes a practical
methodology for measuring end-to-end TCP Throughput in a managed IP network.
For using RFC 6349 application, TCP Throughput option is required to the test module.
If the option has been installed, RFC 6349 icon will appear in Application Selector.
The Network Master has the test sequence according to RFC 6349.
1. Path MTU
Identifies the maximum IP packet size passing through the network without
fragmentation (Maximum Transmission Unit).
2. Baseline Round Trip Time (RTT)
Measures the lowest RTT assuming that packets pass through the network
without congestion.
3. Window Scan and Throughput
While scanning the TCP window size, measures the maximum bit rate of the
end-to-end network path.
The window size scanning method can be set by Test ModeTest Mode.
4. Multi-Service
Measures multiple-TCP connection throughput. Multiple TCP connection
throughput test is called "Multi-Service" in Network Master.
The RFC 6349 also defines TCP metrics as Transfer Time Ratio, TCP Efficiency
and Buffer Delay.
66..1010..11 Ports Setup and StatusPorts Setup and Status
The first step in running an application is to set up the port interfaces. This is
done on the Ports SetupPorts Setup screen, which also provides port status information.
The setup options and status information related to the Ethernet interface are
described in a separate section:
Ethernet Setup and Status
For the RFC 6349 tests, the interface bit rate of 10 Gbps or less can be set.
In Ethernet Setup for RFC 6349 test, three buttons appear in Navigation area.
Streams
Layer 4 settings is fixed to TCP.
