Transmitting layer 4 traffic
After you configure the layer 4 settings, you are ready to
transmit traffic over the circuit.
To transmit layer 4 traffic
1 If you haven’t already done so, launch the IPv4 or IPv6
Terminate application for the circuit you are testing (see
“Launching an application” on page 28), and then select
the Layer 4 Traffic test (see “Selecting a layer 4 TCP/UDP
test” on page 165).
2 Initialize the Ethernet link (see “Initializing the link for
Ethernet testing” on page 47.
3 Establish an IPoE connection or PPPoE session:
– If you are transmitting IPv4 traffic, see “Establishing an
IPoE connection for IPv4 traffic” on page 122, or
“Establishing a PPPoE session” on page 128.
– If you are transmitting IPv6 traffic, see “Establishing an
IPoE connection for IPv6 traffic” on page 124.
4 Configure the HST as appropriate for your test (see the
appropriate procedures below):
– “Specifying frame characteristics” on page 51
– “Configuring the traffic load” on page 56
– “Filtering received traffic using layer 2 criteria” on
page 65
– “Specifying IP packet settings” on page 137
– “Filtering received traffic using layer 3 criteria” on
page 142
– “Specifying the traffic mode and ports” on page 169
– “Filtering received traffic using layer 4 criteria” on
