A throughput testing method and testing system

Abstract

The invention provides a throughput test method and a test system. The test method includes the following steps: test equipment sends out a message to first equipment to be tested at a port to be tested; the first equipment to be tested includes a port to be tested and a plurality of ports, the equivalent bandwidths of a plurality of the ports are the same as the port to be tested; the first equipment to be tested receives the message, adopts the port to divide a virtual LAN and utilizes second equipment to be tested the same as the first equipment to be tested to generate equivalent bandwidth flow rate of the port to be tested by self circulation and then transmits the message to the equipment to be tested; the equipment to be tested judges whether the number of the sent message is equivalent to the number of the received message; if so, the throughput test is passed. The invention needs no a trillion test card, and only utilizes the test equipment to realize the throughput test of trillion ports or other ports with any rate, with the advantages of cost saving, and test flexibility and practicability improvement.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the switching performance testing technology of communication equipment, in particular to the throughput (Throughput) testing technology, in particular to a throughput testing method and testing system. Background technique [0002] At present, the switching performance testing equipment is a kind of equipment used to test various performances of devices to be tested, such as switches and routers, wherein a key performance of devices to be tested, such as switches and routers, is throughput. The so-called throughput refers to the maximum data flow that a switch or router device can handle per unit time. [0003] When using the switching performance testing equipment to test the throughput of the switch or router, the following methods can be adopted: the switching performance testing equipment sends the packets of a certain flow to the equipment under test, such as some ports of the switch or the router, wherein the pac...

[0013] It can be seen from the above that although the above test method can be used to test Gigabit ports and 10 Gigabit ports, the disadvantage is that the price of 10 Gigabit test cards is very expensive, and a large number of Gigabit ports of the test equipment need to be occupied during the test. High resource usage
