Hi Diogo We use ixchariot endpoints installed on linux laptops to test sites for voice readiness. Ixchariot calculates for you the MOS score and, depending from the NIC, can also push close to 1 Gig of traffic. For larger bandwidth tests (I believe 6-7 Gig) and fast re-route testing (ms failover) we use ixia hardware. Ciao On 10/27/10, Diogo Montagner <diogo.montagner () gmail com> wrote:
Hello everyone!!! Thank you for all answers. These answers are really what I was looking for!!!!

Do you own the path between cpe <-> cpe? Remeber that for each km of fiber distance add about 4.9ms (one way) of latency. Do basline tests on your cpe gear so you know what you are working with from the being. Different tests at different speeds/cpe hand off (1Gig fiber, 10Gig fiber, Copper @ 10/100/1000) so that all varations are captured. Did this at a pervious company, had to test everything in everything deployable state.

These ethernet circuits can be: dark-fiber, l2circuit (martini), l2vpn (kompella), vpls or ng-vpls. Sometimes, the ethernet circuit can be a mix of these technologies, like below: CPE <-> metro-e <-> l2circuit <-> l2vpn <-> l2circuit <-> metro-e <-> CPE The goal is verify the performance end-to-end. I am looking for tools that can check at least the following parameters: - loss - latency - jitter - bandwidth - out-of-order delivery At this moment I have been used IPerf to achieve these results. But I would like to check if there is some test devices that can be used in situations like that to verify the ethernet-based circuit performance. The objective of these tests is to verify the signed SLAs of each circuit before the customer start to use it. I checked all MEF specifications and I only find something related to performance for Circuit Emulation over Metro-E (which is not my case). Appreciate your comments.
