Network test method, system and network managing station based on service level protocol

Abstract

The invention discloses a network testing method, system and network management station based on service level agreement (SLA). The network management station stores SLA service class corresponding to each operation to be detected, the SLA service class includes no less than one SLA operation, and the method includes the steps of: distributing each SLA operation included by the SLA service class with respect to the current operation to be detected to the client equipment to be detected such that the equipment can start each SLA operation to the service equipment to be detected and receives the measuring data returned from the service equipment; obtaining the measuring data from the client equipment to be detected in order to estimate network service. The scheme of the invention can meet the requirement of network performance testing in operation term.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to network testing technology, in particular to a network testing method, system and network management station based on Service Level Agreement (SLA, Service Level Agreement). Background technique [0002] SLA usually refers to an agreement reached between an operator and a customer and requires the operator to guarantee the performance and reliability of a specific service for the customer to pay a certain fee. The purpose is to agree and reach a consensus on services, priorities, responsibilities, etc. It quantifies the quality of service (QoS, Quality of Service) of the network link by obtaining index data such as delay, jitter, packet loss rate and out-of-sequence of the network link between the server and the client. Network performance measurement and diagnostic tool. [0003] In order to obtain index data for quantifying network QoS, in the prior art, an SLA action for a specific server device is generally defined on the ...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, in the prior art, the SLA operation can only perform a single basic network performance test, but in practical applications, it is usually necessary to test the performance of the network service level that is jointly reflected by more than one basic network performance, such as the voice service in the network. Performance quality, which requires the user to configure and deliver multiple SLA jobs related to the service to be tested to meet the test needs. In this way, the user needs to have a certain understanding of the content and relationship between the service and related SLA jobs, in order to Completing the test objectives and avoiding the operation of irrelevant SLA jobs during the test process makes the operation usability poor; in addition, in the prior art, when configuring and sending multiple SLA jobs, it is necessary to send each SLA job item one by one , that is, there is a certain time difference between the SLA job items, so that in the process of network performance data collection, the collected data is not accurate enough

[0006] It can be seen that the network testing scheme in the prior art cannot meet the needs of network performance testing at the service level
