• BERT (Bit Error Rate Test),» Not very effect at testing Ethernet,

• Commonly requested as customers are comfortable with this technology.

• Designed to test audio lines based on the human brain???

• RFC2544,» Commonly referred to as the reference point for testing

Ethernet,• Originally designed for network elements, adopted by telecom

operators.

• MultiStream,» Not a standard but customers confirm the network using it.

• Simple straight forward check of the network.

*No one method is the best, customer dependant*

• RFC2544» Designed for testing Ethernet networks using

different frame sizes.» Completes several tests (sequentially) including,

• Throughput,› Speed at which the frame size transfers through the network.

• Frame Loss,› Number of fames lost while transferring through the

network.• Latency,

› Time the frame takes to transfer through the network.• Packet Jitter, (not standard)

› The variation of the frame arrival.• Burstability (often not tested),

› Ability of the network to be able to handle burst frames.

» Also defines 2 types of switch reset’s not used by operators.

• MultiStream,» As many end users networks consist of multiple streams of traffic (across the

WAN network) on different VLAN.• Telecom operators simulate this by generating multiple streams.

» Very good for checking CoS (Class of Service),• Confirms the network routing is correct,• Confirms throughput per VLAN,

» Set-up can be complicated depending on network configuration,• Each stream configured independently,• Depending on network configuration the tester configuration requires to be adjusted.

» Results can be complicated to analyze,• Different network configuration mean different thresholds of what is pass or fail.

» Not able to test different frame sizes (elements perform differently).

• Y.1564 was while in draft format within the ITU-T called Y.156sam.» All ITU-T standards are numeral only so they often use

letters at the end until it’s released.• sam at the end of Y.156sam stands for,

» Service Activation Test Methodology.• The full name is “An Ethernet Service Activation Test

Methodology”

• Completed in two sections,» Service Configuration Test,

• Confirms the network is able to transfer a single streamof frames (Test Flow) at the required configuration confirming the Throughput,

› IR (Information Rate).

• At a fixed frame size or mix of frame sizes.

» Service Performance Test,• Transmits all Test Flows simultaneously at the CIR confirming

no errors over a configured duration.

» Requires Pass / Fail results based on SAC (Service

Acceptance Criteria) information.

• Generate single frame size or an E-MIX (Ethernet MIX) of frame sizes,

» A repeating a mix of different Ethernet frame sizes, i.e; 64 – 128 – 256 – 1024 – 1518.

• Generating at CIR or stepping up to the CIR,» Measuring at each step the IR, FLR, FTD, FDV, FLRSAC,» Confirm all are within the SAC limits before continuing.

• Generate at the CIR + EIR,» Measure the IR, FLR, FTD and FDV .

• Generate at the CIR + 125% * EIR, (Traffic Policing)» Measure the IR, FLR, FTD and FDV .

• CBS and CBS + EBS test completed if required.

• Repeat above measurementsper Test Flow,

» Each Test Flow able to be independently configured,

• Representing different traffic types with different priorities.

• Test duration should be short.

• CBS and EBS testing (Experimental / For Study),» Bursting at line rate above the CIR and/or the EIR

confirming the network is capable of handling a short duration of large traffic.

• Ethernet networks often bursts,» Testing the networks flexibility in this way allows for

testing closer to real life network traffic conditions.» Tx at CIR then Stop Tx for a short timeframe,» Tx the largest of to following,

• 1% of CBS,• 1.5 times largest frame,• 0.1% of CIR/8

» Stop Tx for a short timeframe, Resume CIR traffic and Repeat.

• Once Service Configuration has passed.• Transmit all Test Flows simultaneously

at the CIR rate,• Measure simultaneously per stream,

» IR, FTD, FDV, FLR and AVAIL,• Testing time should follow the

ITU-T M.2110 standards of,» 15 min,» 02 hour,» 24 hour.

» Test Flow’s can be configured in many different ways.

• New methodology to test multiple Ethernet services simultaneously in a network (optional)

• RFC 2544 is the standard commonly used today» Originally designed for checking performance of a

network device» Runs one service at a time,

• Tests in a serial manner not running all services simultaneously

Slide 11

• ITU-T Y.1564 completes the testing in two phases» Service Configuration Test

• Confirm each individual service is configured correctly checking, CIR (Committed Information Rate), EIR (Excess Information Rate), FTD (Frame Transfer Delay), FDV (Frame Delay Variation), FLR (Frame Loss Ratio), CBS (Committed Burst Size), EBS (Excess Burst Size).

» Service Performance Test• Transmits one or many Service Configuration Tests simultaneously at the CIR

confirming all traffic is able to traverse the network under the full service load over time.

RFC 2544 completes tests one after another.

Y.1564 completes a quick per service test followed by the performance test.

Slide 17

• Y.1564 can be completed using two testers or a single tester with a reflector at the far end.» When testing FTD the standard recognizes one way

measurements “SHOULD use synchronization to align their measurement clocks”.

• Clock accuracy and drift over time becomes very important,• As syncing equipment clocks is critical, it’s not normally

practical test in the field.

• It will be possible for testing to be completed via a Master Slave situation or a reflector.» It could also be possible to complete testing with a hard

loopback in appropriate networks.• In this configuration Y.1564 testing becomes less relative.
