RFC2889 主要測試MAC層交換機裝置,它為交換機的轉發性能、擁塞控制、時延、位址處理和過濾提供了一個測試基準方法。主要測試項如下:
- 全網狀互連吞吐量、丢幀率和轉發速率(Fully meshed throughput, frame loss and forwarding rates)
- 部分網狀互連一對多/多對一(Partially meshed one-to-many/many-to-one)
- 部分網狀互連多重裝置(Partially meshed multiple devices)
- 部分網狀互連單向通信流量(Partially meshed unidirectional traffic)
- 擁塞控制(Congestion Control)
- 轉發壓力和最大轉發速率(Forward Pressure and Maximum Forwarding Rate)
- 位址緩存容量(Address caching capacity)
- 位址學習速率(Address learning rate)
- 錯誤幀過濾(Errored frames filtering)
- 廣播幀轉發和時延(Broadcast frame Forwarding and Latency)
