ITO Tests
The EtherScope Network Assistant features two ITO
(Internet Throughput Option) tests:
• Traffic Generator: enables you to generate
background test traffic into the network. This test is
helpful when you are testing new systems and
configurations because it allows you to simulate
diverse mixes of traffic which can help you identify
and isolate network performance issues.
• Throughput: a double-ended test of bandwidth
between two network nodes. This test enables you
to test throughput and evaluate a link’s capacity.
Traffic Generator
To run the Traffic Generator test:
1. In the main pane, tap
next to ITO Tests to view
the subtests.
2. Tap Traffic Generator. Then tap to
configure the parameters for the test (see Figure 19):
• Frame Description: specify the packet type and
size; in addition, provide the destination IP and
MAC address.
• Rate and Duration: specify the transmit rate and
duration.
