SLA Parameters
The Service-Level Agreement (SLA) parameters allow enabling and
defining the pass/fail verdict thresholds for the service.
For Dual Test Set, parameters are configurable for both local (L) and
remote (R) directions at the exception of Max Round-Trip Latency for
which the value is unique.
For Dual Port topology, parameters are configurable for both port
directions.
Information Rate
Unit choices are % (default), Mbit/s, or Gbit/s. This unit is also used for
Total TX Rate and for Test Parameters (Traffic Policing and Burst
Max Rate).
Note: At least one check box (CIR or CIR+EIR) has to be selected. Thus, clearing
the CIR check box while CIR+EIR check box is cleared, will automatically
select the CIR+EIR check box and vice versa.
CIR (Committed Information Rate) check box when selected (default)
sets the service rate guaranteed by the SLA. The threshold value is
configurable from 0.0001
1
to 100 percent (default is 50 percent). CIR
and preceding steps are not performed for services that have the CIR
check box cleared.
CIR+EIR check box when selected (cleared by default) sets the best
effort allowed traffic for the service. The EIR (Excess Information Rate)
value is equal to the CIR+EIR value minus CIR. The threshold value is
configurable from 0.0001
1
to 100 percent (default is 75 percent).
Burst Size settings are only available when the Burst Test is enabled (see
EtherSAM - Global on page 99).
Burst Size unit choices are Bytes (default) or ms.
1. The minimum rate is 1Mbit/s when the
Frame Size
is
Random
