Spirent enterprise routing and switching testing solutions help organizations determine the actual performance and QoE.

Enterprise network operators are under increasing pressure to deliver high availability, global access, rapid response times, solid security and support for richer content. In response, switch and router vendors increase the number and complexity of protocols and features in their products. Unfortunately, this mix of protocols and technologies makes it more difficult to know the true performance of services, the true quality of the user experience and to troubleshoot root causes when problems arise.

What to Test

Enterprise routing and switching tests should address:

• Session scalability and Quality of Experience (QoE)—for sensitive applications such as voice and video
• Peer, route, adjacency and autoscripting (AS) capacity
• MAC address capacity
• Standards-based benchmarking—(RFC 254, RFC 2889, RFC 3511, RFC 3918) to find
• Performance thresholds—of throughput, frame loss, latency and congestion control
• Stateful connection capacity—establishment rate and teardown rate thresholds
• Throughput performance—of security solutions while under attack
