Paulo,
You may first want to skim through RFC's 1242/2285 for terminology of tests
and measurements, plus RFC's 1944, 2544 and 2889 for the methodology of
these tests. This may seem like a lot of reading but would definitely help.
As far as measuring equipment is concerned you may want to look at packet
generators such as SmartBits and many more. The packet generation capability
of Cisco routers by typing an undocumented command "ttcp" may also be worth
considering. Some custome stuff is also available which helps you measure
and verify SLA's.
A thorough understanding of the traffic patterns of the network-under-test
is also very essential for finding out where on the network should you
employ measurement tools.

Subject: Off topic - Tools for measurement - SLA [7:13087]
Dear all,
I would like to deploy some measurements for an IP backbone. The idea is to
publish some report giving information about packet loss, latency,
availability and other stuff related to SLA. What is the best way of doing
this ? Latency and packet loss measurements are enough ? Could you list some
good tools for this (a kind of a probe that could helping on collecting e
publishing the results to the Web)?
I would appreciate your help.
