Re: Speed Test Results

Rolling your own with NDT (web100 tools), placing it on a common transit 
point within your network, and providing access to your customers will 
provide decent, consistent and pretty detailed results regarding TCP 
attributes.  There are facilities within the software to perform packet 
captures for each test too.  Works for our help desk to understand 
relative performance and respond accordingly.

Trust nothing off your managed net.

Hi,

Am having a debate on the results of speed tests sites.

Am interested in knowing the thoughts of different individuals in regards to 
this.

Re: Ethernet performance tests

many switch and routing vendors provide such functionality in their os.
this data can then be collected via SNMP, stored for reports and 
forwarded as events, when necessary.

Hello everyone,

I am looking for performance test methodology for ethernet-based
circuits. These ethernet circuits can be: dark-fiber, l2circuit
(martini), l2vpn (kompella), vpls or ng-vpls. Sometimes, the ethernet
circuit can be a mix of these technologies, like below:

CPE-  metro-e-  l2circuit-  l2vpn-  l2circuit-  metro-e-  CPE

The goal is verify the performance end-to-end.

I am looking for tools that can check at least the following parameters:

- loss
- latency
- jitter
- bandwidth
- out-of-order delivery

At this moment I have been used IPerf to achieve these results. But I
would like to check if there is some test devices that can be used in
situations like that to verify the ethernet-based circuit performance.

The objective of these tests is to verify the signed SLAs of each
circuit before the customer start to use it.

I checked all MEF specifications and I only find something related to
performance for Circuit Emulation over Metro-E (which is not my case).

Appreciate your comments.

Thanks!
