Method and system for testing performance of network equipment

Abstract

The invention provides a method and system for testing the performance of network equipment. The method comprises the following steps of: respectively connecting two ports of network equipment to be tested as an input end and an output end to test equipment and connecting other two ports of the network equipment to be tested to auxiliary test equipment; creating logic interfaces for various portsused by the network equipment to be tested and the auxiliary test equipment according to the maximum transmission layer performance index of the network equipment to be tested and the maximum transmission layer performance index supported by the test equipment; setting a transfer path of the tested data in the network equipment to be tested and the auxiliary test equipment according to the logic interfaces; configuring session recognition information in the network equipment to be tested, wherein the session recognition information is used for distinguishing sessions for externally receiving the tested data through different logic interfaces arranged on the network equipment to be tested; and inputting the tested data to the network equipment to be tested through the input end and detecting whether the output of the output end is normal or not by the test equipment so as to confirm whether the performance of the network equipment to be tested is normal or not.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to network communication technology, in particular to a method and system for testing network equipment performance. Background technique [0002] With the expansion of network scale and continuous expansion of performance and functions, the transport layer performance of network equipment plays an extremely important role in the normal operation of the network. [0003] Transport layer performance testing refers to testing the performance and scalability related to the firewall status, mainly including the testing of two indicators: Concurrent TCP Connection Capacity and Maximum TCP Connection Establishment Rate. Among them, the number of concurrent TCP connections refers to the maximum number of connections that can be established simultaneously between hosts passing through the device under test or between the host and the device under test, which can reflect the firewall's access control capabilities and connection status trac...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] It can be seen that when the above test method is adopted, on the one hand, the cost is increased due to the need to use a large number of test equipment ports; Configure enough ports, resulting in the inability to effectively test its transport layer performance
