TrueSpeed testing
The OneExpert DSL’s optional TrueSpeed test provides a repeatable, standards-based test
methodology to resolve complaints about poor network performance. With TrueSpeed,
you can quickly evaluate the customer experience of their network and provide actionable
information to resolve problems.
Based on the IETF RFC 6349 TCP throughput testing methodology, TrueSpeed provides metrics
that can be used to tune TCP parameters for obtaining maximum throughput.
1. If you haven’t done so, specify the settings for the DSL or Ethernet interface and then
connect to the line. TruSpeed is launched from the Test & Settings tab of the Ethernet
TE, Single DSL, and Bonded DSL applications.
2. Select the Tests & Settings button.
3. Press TrueSpeed.
4. Do one of the following:
y Select an existing test profile.
y Specify a new test profile.
– Enter the name of the profile.
– Specify the up/download CIR (committed information rate). For each
direction, this should be configured to either the physical line rate or the
provisioned rate, whichever is lower.
