A Methodology for Performance Testing of Ethernet Switch
Layer 3 이더넷 스위치 성능 시험 방법론 연구
Abstract
This paper covers the performance testing for layer 3 Ethernet switch based on various methodologies by which we can measure essential metrics such as throughput, latency, frame loss rate, and back to back frames. In the first place, layer 2 and layer 3 switch evolution is introduced followed by description of IP packet switching in layer 3 switch. And then, the above test metrics and test methodologies are illustrated as well. At last, we conduct the performance testing for layer 3 switch in case of transmitting packets of 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 1280, and 1518 byte size and analyze then results.
