  • Page 45 Typical Tasks and Solutions RFC 2544 Methodology Back-to-back The test allows estimating the time during which the DUT is capable to manage the maximum load. The analyzer sends a burst of frames with minimum interframe gap to the DUT and then counts the number of frames forwarded by the DUT. If the count of transmitted frames is equal to the number of frames forwarded, the time of transmission is being increased and the test is being rerun until there are two trials succeeded with no frame lost.
