Introduction to
Performance Testing
Network performance is measured between a
Source device, on which the test is configured
and controlled, and up to four Endpoint devices
that exchange traffic with the source. There are
two endpoint types: Peers and Reflectors.
When using a Peer endpoint, separate upstream
and downstream measurements can be shown
for Throughput, Loss, Latency, and Jitter.
When using a Reflector, the Product reports
round-trip data for all measurements. Separate
upstream and downstream traffic measurements
are not possible.
The EtherScope nXG Controlled Edition can act
as the controlling Source for the performance
test or as a Peer for a test conducted by different
source device, such as another EtherScope nXG
Controlled Edition or a OneTouch AT 10G.
Other NetAlly testers work with the Product to
perform network performance testing:
