| |
| - IPv4 and IPv6 Scale - performance tests. |
| |
| - Bidirectional 10k/100k/1M flows. |
| - 64B,570B, 1518B,9000B packet sizes. |
| |
| - IPv6 iACL - performance |
| |
| - DUT1 and DUT2 are configured with IPv6 routing, two static IPv6 |
| /64 routes and IPv6 iAcl security whitelist ingress /64 filter |
| entries applied on links. |
| - TG traffic profile contains two L3 flow-groups (flow-group per |
| direction, 253 flows per flow-group) with all packets |
| containing Ethernet header, IPv6 header and generated payload. |
| MAC addresses are matching MAC addresses of the TG node |
| interfaces. |
| |
| - L2XC VXLANoIPv4 - performance |
| |
| - DUT1 and DUT2 are configured with L2 cross-connect. VXLAN |
| tunnels are configured between L2XCs on DUT1 and DUT2. |
| - TG traffic profile contains two L3 flow-groups (flow-group per |
| direction, 253 flows per flow-group) with all packets |
| containing Ethernet header, IPv4 header with IP protocol=61 and |
| generated payload. MAC addresses are matching MAC addresses of |
| the TG node interfaces. |
