RFC 2544-based benchmarking tests for Layer 2 and Layer 3 Ethernet services

Junos OS supports RFC 2544 benchmarking tests to measure performance characteristics and efficiency of the routers, such as throughput, bursty frames, frame loss, and latency.

• You can configure RFC 2544 tests on the following underlying services:
• Between two IPv4 endpoints. 
• Between two user-to-network interfaces (UNIs) of Ethernet Virtual Connection (EVC), Ethernet Private Line (EPL, also called E-LINE), Ethernet Virtual Private Line (EVPL), EVC (EPL, EVPL). 

RFC 2544 tests are supported only in the egress direction or the user-to-network interface (UNI) direction of Ethernet line or LAN service parameters in a bridge domain between two routers for unicast traffic. You can run RFC 2544 benchmarking inet tests on Layer 3 VPN or virtual router.
