About the Throughput test
202
HST-3000 Ethernet Testing User’s Guide
For .01% accuracy, Throughput is calculated as:
– The (integer value of L2 Avg.) % Util * 100 divided by 100
Verifying Phase
The load is set to the calculated throughput value, and trans-
mitted for the Throughput Duration time. If the frame loss
tolerance is exceeded, instructions are provided for testing
the link manually for intermittent problems, and the test is
aborted.
Throughput test
results
The following results are reported for every frame length you
selected.
Cfg Length (Mbps)
The bit rate for transmitted traffic (expressed in Mbps) at
which no frames were lost for a particular frame length.
Measured Rate (Mbps)
The measured bit rate (expressed in Mbps) at which no
frames were lost for a particular frame length.
Measured Rate (%)
The bit rate (expressed as a percentage of the line rate) at
which no frames were lost for a particular frame length.
Measured Rate (frms/sec)
The peak frame rate (expressed in frames per second) at
which no frames were lost for a particular frame length.
Pause Detected
Indicates whether or not pause frames were detected at the
point where no frames were lost for a particular frame length.
