Measuring end-to-end Ethernet performance is necessary to verify SLA compliance, demonstrate the functionality of a newly turned-up Ethernet link and helpful in resolving network performance issues. This webcast describes the advancements in field measurement of end-to-end Ethernet performance. We’ll show you how to assess and measure Ethernet performance using a combination of RFC 2544 and advanced metrics using the EtherScope Network Assistant.

The following topics are covered:

• Importance of Ethernet performance measurement
• Overview of IETF RFC 2544 and advanced tests
• How to write a test plan to satisfy varying organizational objectives
• Implementing an a Ethernet Performance Test using the EtherScope Network Assistant
