Test package - Browser-based Quicktest
| Type of probe required |
Genalyzer G100, G1000 or own PC hardware (G-USB or G-UDD) |
| Number of probes needed |
Up to 512 probes is supported, where one at a time is used for a separate point-to-point test. The BBQ functionality needs to be activated in the web application before BBQ tests can be executed. |
| Number of logical network interfaces needed per probe |
One interface. Tests are performed towards the management interface. |
| Support for tests on other than management interface |
No |
| Support for tests on VLAN interfaces |
Yes, provided that the management interface is configured as a VLAN |
| Priority traffic marking |
Using 802.1p bits in the VLAN header. IP-based priority not supported. |
| Requirement on web browser |
Adobe Flash 10.1 or later |
| Throughput measurements |
TCP throughput is measured one direction at a time. From selected Genalyzer probe to the web browser, and the other way. Up to 1 Gbit/s can be measured in either direction, provided that the web browser is running on a modern computer, and that the Genalyzer probe is a G1000 or equivalently powerful. |
| Tests of response times |
Two types of response times are measured and reported: ”TCP roundtrip delay” and ”ICMP roundtrip delay”. TCP roundtrip is measured from the web browser to the Genalyzer probe, and back. ICMP roundtrip is measured from the Genalyzer probe towards the IP host with the public address as used by the web browser. In case the web browser is locate behind a NAT router, ICMP is measured towards the NAT. In case ICMP is blocked somewhere in the network, no measurement value is reported. |
| Tests of packet loss |
Using the same ICMP packets as in the response time measurements, the packet loss rate is also calculated. In case ICMP is blocked somewhere in the network, no measurement value is reported. |
