Rfc 2544 ethernet testing1/30/2023 What is RFC 2544?The RFC 2544 standard, established by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standards body, is the de facto methodology that outlines the tests required to measure and prove performance criteria for carrier Ethernet networks. These tests can also serve as a performance baseline for future reference. Portable RFC 2544 test equipment enables field technicians, installers and contractors to immediately capture test results and demonstrate that the Ethernet service meets the customer SLA. However, Ethernet performance criteria are more difficult to prove, and demonstrating performance availability, transmission delay, link burstability and service integrity cannot be accomplished accurately by a mere PING command alone. Customer service-level agreements (SLAs) dictate certain performance criteria that must be met, with the majority documenting network availability and mean-time-to-repair values which are easily verified. The need for quality services has never been more important, making comprehensive Ethernet testing immediately at service turn-up vital to ensuring service quality and increasing customer satisfaction. Service providers worldwide are actively turning up new services based on carrier Ethernet technology in a fierce competition to attract premium subscribers.
