Determine at what layer youll be testing:
Layer 3: Routed network
Need valid source (static or DHCP) anddestination IP addresses
Need Valid Gateway IP address
Layer 2: Network switches
VLAN?
Need to configure MAC address sourceand destination in test traffic
Layer 1:
Copper or Fiber?
850,1310,1550nm?
10,100,1000BaseT?
Auto-negotiation or fixed?

Key Ethernet Metrics
Link Status
Link Up/Down
For copper link need to verify speed 10/100/1000Mbps and Full/Halfduplex
ALL modern equipment supports full duplex
If you get half-duplex link verify the settings
For fiber link need to verify wavelength or optical power
CRC errors Frame check sequence detects bit errors
MAC Test PatternFCS/CRC

Key Ethernet Metrics
Frame Loss
Network Equipment drops errored frames. To detect frame loss, the test frames need to include a sequence
number tag.
Ethernet standard does not include sequence number.
Throughput Rate
What is the maximum data rate that your network can handle?
Congested equipment will drop frames.
8/13/2019 TDN Brief&Ethernet Testing DEC2013
18/31
Key Ethernet Metrics
Time stamp Time stamp
Frame Transfer Delay
round trip or 1-way delay important for time-sensitive applications(example mobile backhaul signaling traffic)
1-way delay requires time synchronization
Jitter Frame Delay Variation
Metric used for jitter sensitive applications that require constant ratelike VoIP or Video.
8/13/2019 TDN Brief&Ethernet Testing DEC2013
19/31
Ethernet Test Standards RFC2544 and Y.1564
RFC2544: IETF standard Benchmarking Methodology for Network InterconnectDevices. The test suite includes: Throughput, Latency, Frame Loss and Back-to-back
(burst) test.
ITU-T Y.1564 defines an out-of-service test methodology
Service Activation Test Methodology (SAM) EtherSAM, V-SAM, etc.
Users can assess the proper configuration and performance of an Ethernet
service prior to customer delivery. In particular, Y.1564 is aimed at addressing and solving the deficiencies of
RFC 2544
Benefits to the User
Total test time is drastically reduced - Services are being tested over a longerduration simultaneously, and all the SLA parameters are also measuredsimultaneously.
Results reporting - clear and simple Pass/Fail indication in Green/Red. This isfor each test, each service, with a global indication.

Ethernet Test Standards CIR and EIR
Committed Information Rate (CIR):
Guaranteed maximum rate at which the customer can send frames that are assured to
be forwarded through the network without being dropped.
Excess Information Rate (EIR):
Maximum rate above the CIR at which the customer can send frames that will beforwarded on a best effort basis, but may be dropped in the event of congestion within
the network. Traffic beyond CIR + EIR will be dropped when it enters the carriersnetwork.
