From 827a2c43d3d4ee2abd632dad59c6cd3d47e5092a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Morton Date: Fri, 2 Oct 2015 02:18:09 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] test_spec: LTD:Throughput.RFC2544.Profile Metric Clarifications LTD.Throughput.RFC2544.Profile refers to the metric "maximum forwarding rate" but implies that this is the zero% loss rate, which would be the Throughput level (MFR is usually higher than Throughput, because MFR allows losses). It may be that MFR and Throughput are just interchanged in the last two paragraphs of the description.

The offered traffic rate is described as a percentage delta with respect - to the DUT's maximum forwarding rate as determined by + to the DUT's RFC 2544 Throughput as determined by LTD.Throughput.RFC2544.PacketLoss Ratio (0% Packet Loss case). A delta - of 0% is equivalent to an offered traffic rate equal to the maximum - forwarding rate; A delta of +50% indicates an offered rate half-way - between the maximum forwarding rate and line-rate, whereas a delta of + of 0% is equivalent to an offered traffic rate equal to the RFC 2544 + Throughput; A delta of +50% indicates an offered rate half-way + between the Throughput and line-rate, whereas a delta of -50% indicates an offered rate of half the maximum rate. Therefore the range of the delta figure is natuarlly bounded at -100% (zero offered traffic) and +100% (traffic offered at line rate). -- 2.16.6
