The LinkRunner 100G’s line rate Performance Test provides point-to-point performance testing of a traffic stream across wired IPv4 network infrastructure. This test quantifies network performance in terms of target rate, throughput, loss, latency, and jitter. There are two endpoint types: Peers and Reflectors. For an overview on performance testing please see our Tech Tips: https://www.netally.com/network-performance/performance_test_endpoints/
Network performance is measured between a Source device, on which the test is configured and controlled, and up to eight Endpoint devices that exchange traffic with the source, using up to eight streams. 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 LR 100G reports round-trip data for all measurements. Separate upstream and downstream traffic measurements are not possible.
Other NetAlly testers can work with the LR 100G to perform network performance testing:
- LinkRunner 100G can act as the Source or a Peer for Performance tests.
Netally.com/products/linkrunner100g/ - EtherScope nXG can act as the Source or a Peer for Performance tests.
Netally.com/products/etherscopenxg/ - LinkRunner 10G can act as the Source or a Peer for Performance tests.
Netally.com/products/linkrunner10g/ - CyberScope can act as the Source or a Peer for Performance tests.
Netally.com/products/cyberscope - LinkRunner AT 3000 and LinkRunner AT 4000 each have a Reflector feature for exchanging Performance test traffic.
Netally.com/products/linkrunner-4000/ - NetAlly’s Network Performance Test (NPT) Reflector PC application can also act as the reflector for a Performance test. Download the free Windows NPT Reflector software from Link-live.com/downloads.
