A method and system for high-speed port performance testing of network equipment

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for performance test of a high-speed port of a network device, applied to a system comprising a device under test and an auxiliary test device, wherein the auxiliary test device comprises a first low-speed port, a second low-speed port, a first auxiliary test high-speed port and a second auxiliary test high-speed port, and specific implementation of the method comprises: the first low-speed port is connected with one port of a network tester, the second low-speed port is connected with another port of the network tester, and the first low-speed port and the second low-speed port have the same speed; the first auxiliary test high-speed port is correspondingly connected with a certain to-be-tested high-speed port with the same speed, the second auxiliary test high-speed port is correspondingly connected with another to-be-tested high-speed port with the same speed, and other to-be-tested high-speed ports with the same speed are connected pairwise. The invention also provides a system for performance test of a high-speed port of a network device. With the need of only two low-speed ports, the method and the system provided by the invention can perform high-speed port test of N (N is an integer greater than 0) times of network tester sending rate through regulating the sending rate of the network tester connected with the low-speed ports.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of data communication, in particular to a method and system for testing the performance of a high-speed port of a network device. Background technique [0002] At present, the performance test of network products mainly depends on the network tester. The current test methods for the performance of network products mainly include two types, one of which is to connect the port of the network tester with the corresponding rate to the corresponding port of the device under test Subsequent packet testing. If there is a 100M port on the device under test that needs to be tested, then use the 100M port of the network tester to connect to the device under test for testing; if there is a Gigabit port to test, use the Gigabit port of the network tester to Test after the device under test is connected, and so on. Another way is to use multiple low-speed ports to test one high-speed port. [0003] In the invention application ...

Problems solved by technology

[0006] 3. There are still high requirements for the speed and quantity of the network tester ports. Due to the second defect, the speed of the network tester ports is required to be high, resulting in high cost

At the same time, the number of ports of the network tester is also relatively large, which further increases the test cost
