With the Throughput Test, measure bidirectional data flow between two Fluke Networks’ devices to validate LAN and WAN throughput capabilities. The throughput test requires a second device to communicate with on your network. That second device can either be an OptiView Integrated or Workgroup Analyzer, an EtherScope or OneTouch Network Assistant, or a LinkRunner Pro Reflector.
The Throughput Option allows you to configure the following parameters:
- Data Speed (Up to 1 G bps) - maximum rate is determined by the link speed and duplex
- Frame Size - choose from seven different frame sizes or select Sweep to run the test on all seven frame sizes
- Content – Select payload for all 1’, all 0s, alternating 1s and 0s or random
- Test duration can be 2 seconds to 18 hours
Test results can be viewed in a tabular or graphical format. The Rate format tabular view indicates the local and remote transmit and receive rates together with the total percentage of frames received by both devices. Switching to tabular Frame Format view shows the number of local and remote frames transmitted and received, together with the total percentage of frames received by both devices.
