  • Service #: Select a service to configure .

  • Service Name: Assign a name to the service if desired.

  • Frame Size Type: Fixed or EMIX (1GE only). A fixed frame size is chosen as default .

  • Frame Size:
    • For Fixed Traffic Flow: Input a fixed frame size within the range of 64-10000 bytes by tapping the value box.
    • For EMIX (1GE only): The default value is abceg. Tap the zoom (magnifying glass) icon to define other values. Select the values from the drop down lists on the next screen.
      Any EMIX configuration of 5 frames is allowed.

     

  • Encapsulation Type: None, Provider Backbone Bridge (PBB-TE), or Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS-TP). MPLS-TP is a simplified version of MPLS. Provider Backbone Bridge MAC-in-MAC (IEEE 802.1ah) encapsulation are configured trunks that add resiliency and configurable performance levels in the provider backbone network. Both options are available for 1GE Copper/Fiber and 10GE port for all Ethernet tests (Layer 2,3 and 4) - BERT, RFC2544, Throughput, V-SAM.

     

Tap the PBB or MPLS-TP block to configure the settings. All fields are configurable.

 

PBB:

  • Backbone MAC Source
  • Backbone MAC Destination
  • Ethernet Type
  • I-SID
  • VLAN ID, Priority, Type


    MPLS-TP:

    • MPLS-TP MAC Source
    • MPLS-TP MAC Destination
    • Ethernet Type
    • VLAN ID, Priority, Type
    • LSP, PW, CW

 

After making changes, tap Apply to All, for MPLS-TP configuration.

Unless otherwise noted, the Frame Header and related setups are identical to the setups described in Header Settings .
