About multiple streams testing
Using the HST-3000 with an Ethernet SIM, you can transmit
up to eight streams of layer 2 Ethernet, layer 3 IP, or layer 4
TCP/UDP traffic carrying an Acterna Test Packet (ATP)
payload. Before transmitting the streams, you can set up each
stream to depict a particular type of traffic, and then verify that
network routing and switching devices prioritize the traffic
properly. You can also verify the bandwidth utilized and
observe a count of transmitted, received, and lost frames or
packets for each respective stream.
Selecting a multiple streams test
When testing multiple streams, you must select a layer 2,
layer 3, or layer 4 streams test for your application.
To select the test
1 If you haven’t already done so, launch the IPv4 Multiple
Stream Terminate application for the circuit you are
testing (see “Launching an application” on page 28).
2 Select one of the following tests:
– Layer 2 Streams.
– Layer 3 Streams.
– Layer 4 Streams.
3 If Press the Configure key, and then use the left and right
arrow keys to go to the Test Mode configuration menu.
4 Do the following:
a Specify the result precision and unit of measure (see
“Specifying test mode and network visibility settings”
on page 30
of Chapter 1 “Getting Started”.
