A performance test device and method of signaling transmission network

Abstract

The invention discloses a performance test equipment of signal transmission network and a method thereof, and the performance test method comprises the steps that: A. a test model is set to configure various parameters; B. the test model is submitted to a foreground process module and test-start instruction is sent to the test model; C. the test starts and the foreground process module confirms flow models with different types and performance statistical data that needs to be collected according to the parameters of the test model, and sends test messages to the tested protocol process in sequence to yield the corresponding flow on the basis of the flow models with different types; simultaneously, the foreground process module collects the performance statistical data and the collected performance statistical data is returned to a program module of a background PC, and then stored and displayed. By adopting the invention, business impact can be avoided and the performance statistics which test self performance of each protocol of Sigtran can be realized under the various flow models while the test model can be flexibly defined along with the development of requirement.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a device and method for performance testing a Sigtran (Signaling Transport, signaling transmission protocol) network. Background technique [0002] Sigtran is a standard developed by IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) for transmitting message-based PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) Signaling System 7 (SS7) traffic over IP networks. The main function of Sigtran is to complete the seamless transmission of NO.7 signaling between SCN (Circuit Switched Network) and IP network. Since Sigtran plays a key role in these coexistence and converged SS7 / IP signaling networks, it is being deployed in more and more network integration environments. [0003] It is precisely because Sigtran networking is more and more widely used that communication equipment R&D manufacturers and users have put forward relatively urgent requirements for the collection of performance indicators of Sig...

Problems solved by technology

[0016] (2) The result is inaccurate

[0017] The packet sending time is usually calculated by the clock on the PC, and there is a certain error; the CPU utilization is obtained by executing system instructions at intervals, which may not reflect the average value of this stage; if the packet sending cycle is long, It is a big test for testers, but if the contract sending cycle is short, it may not be possible to accurately obtain system performance data

[0018] (3) error-prone

[0019] Many factors can cause a test step to be invalid and require rework

For example, forgetting to record the time at the beginning of sending packets, forgetting to clear the original sending and receiving statistics, etc.
