摘要:
Methods, systems, and computer readable media for precise measurement of switching latency of packet switching devices are disclosed. One method includes steps implemented in a network equipment test device including at least one processor. The method includes transmitting frames to a device under test. The method further includes receiving one of the transmitted frames from the device under test. The method further includes determining a measured latency of the device under test based on a difference between a time that the one frame was transmitted to the device under test and a time that the one frame was received from the device under test. The method further includes determining an indication of backlog latency of the device under test caused by the device under test inserting a virtual lane marker in traffic transmitted to the network equipment and reporting the indication of the backlog latency.
摘要:
There are disclosed a system, a test head and a method for testing a device under test. Two or more test heads may be mated directly with respective connectors on the device under test. Each test head may include a traffic generator including a stateless packet builder to generate stateless traffic for transmission to the device under test, and a traffic receiver including a stateless packet analyzer to accumulate traffic statistics on stateless traffic received from the device under test. A server coupled to the two or more test heads via respective communications links, may generate stateful traffic for transmission to the device under test by the two or more test heads, and may process stateful traffic received from the device under test by the two or more test heads.
摘要:
A method for transmitting and coherently detecting data transmitted over electrical lanes that experience different amounts of skew includes, at a traffic generation or forwarding device, self calibrating transmit and receive-side components of the traffic generation or forwarding device to account for skew between electrical lanes and setting per-electrical lane delays based on the calibration. Data to be transmitted to a network device is generated. The data to be transmitted is spread, using one of the transmit-side components, over a first number of electrical lanes. The data is multiplexed from the electrical lanes onto a second number of optical lanes, the second number being different from the first number. Data is transmitted to and received from the network device over the optical lanes. Transmitted data is reconstructed from the received data using the receive-side components.
