Chapter 1

Aggregate In statistics, aggregate data describes data combined from severalmeasurements.

ARP Address Resolution Protocol is a broadcast protocol used to discover the low level(MAC) address that corresponds to the higher level (e.g., IP, IPX, etc.) address.

Auto Negotiation The process of querying a switch or hub port to connect at the highestpossible rate. The options include 10 or 100 Mbits/s Ethernet at half or full duplex.

Back-to-back Fixed length frames presented at a rate such that there is the minimum legalseparation for a given medium between frames over a short to medium period of time.

Backscattering A method for testing signal loss in fiber optic cables.

BERT Bit Error Rate Test. A testing method for digital communication circuits that usespredetermined stress patterns comprised of a sequence of logical ones and zeros generated by apseudorandom binary sequence.

A BERT tester typically consists of a test pattern generator and a receiver that can be set to thesame pattern. They can be used in pairs, with one at either end of a transmission link, orsingularly at one end with a loopback at the remote end. BERT testers are typically stand-alone,specialized instruments, but can be personal computer-based. In use, the number of errors, if any,are counted and presented as a ratio such as 1 in 1,000,000, or 1 in 10E06.

Broadcast A transmission addressed to all stations on a network.

Burst Mode Burst mode is a data transmission mode in which data is sent faster thannormal. There are a number of techniques for implementing burst modes. In a data bus, forexample, a burst mode is usually implemented by allowing a device to seize control of the bus andnot permitting other devices to interrupt. In RAM, burst modes are implemented by automaticallyfetching the next memory contents before they are requested. This is essentially the sametechnique used by disk caches.

The one characteristic that all burst modes have in common is that they are temporary andunsustainable. They allow faster data transfer rates than normal, but only for a limited period oftime and only under special conditions.

Cable BERT (1)3 cables with phase adjuster for ParBERT N4868A booster module. (2)Short cable kit, 2.4mm (m) to 2.4mm (m), semi-rigid cable (intended for N4903A J-BERTconnection of Interference Channel with DATA OUT).

CFI Canonical Format Indicator is a 1-bit field. If the value of this field is 1, the MAC addressis a non-canonical format. If the value is 0, the MAC address is a canonical format. It is alwaysset to zero for Ethernet switches. CFI is used for compatibility between Ethernet and Token Ringnetworks. If a frame received at an Ethernet port has a CFI set to 1, then that frame should not bebridged to an untagged port.

Checksum A simple error-detection scheme in which each transmitted message isaccompanied by a numerical value based on the number of set bits in the message. Thereceiving station then applies the same formula to the message and checks to make sure theaccompanying numerical value is the same. If not, the receiver can assume that the message hasbeen garbled or corrupted.

Collision An error that occurs when two stations attempt to transmit at the same time on an

Ethernet network.Copper Cable Electric cables made from twisted pair copper wire.

CRC Error Cyclic Redundancy Check - An error detection method using a number derivedfrom the data that is transmitted in the packet. The number is calculated by the sending stationand stored in the packet. The receiving station, upon receipt of the packet, recalculates thenumber and compares it to the stored value. If they are not the same, then the packet haschanged erroneously during the transmission.

These errors indicate that packets were received with (1) a bad FCS and an integral number ofoctets (FCS Errors), and (2) a bad FCS and a non-integral number of octets (alignment errors).

CRC errors can cause an end station to freeze. If a large number of CRC errors are attributed toa single station on the network, replace the stations network interface board. Typically, a CRCerror rate of more than 1 percent of network traffic is considered excessive.

Default Gateway The preferred system for providing access outside the local subnet. Agateway is a form of router. In order for a station to access the stations on other subnets or theInternet, it must know the address of the system that controls access; this system is the defaultgateway.

DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is a procedure that enables devices entering or

re-entering the network to request that certain parameters will be automatically assigned to them.DHCP assigns a unique IP address. A device may request a subnet mask, default routeraddress, name server address, and or other parameters and addresses.

DHCP server Any of several kinds of devices that provide DHCP services. These commonlyinclude file servers and routers.

DNS Domain Name Server or Domain Name Services. A capability used widely within boththe Internet and corporate networks that resolves (or matches) names with IP addresses. Forexample, if a workstation needs to retrieve a web page from abc.com, a request containing thename abc.com is sent to a domain name server. That server, or acting on its behalf, will respondwith the IP address of the host at which the web page is stored.

DNS Domain An Internet naming hierarchy such as trilithic.com.

Domain Controller In an NT environment, the domain controller has the responsibility forstoring certain information about users, resources, and devices on the network. There will be aprimary domain controller and a backup domain controller. These are referred to as the PDC andBDC, respectively.

Dual Port Testing In dual port systems and topologies,throughput capacity and port densityoptimize/improve applications that require maximum throughput and port density such as;virtualization, security, server consolidation, and network segmentation. Single and multi-streamIP performance testing provides true measurement of performance characteristics of IP/MPLS-centric devices or networks, addressing real-world networking scenarios in multivendorenvironments. IP performance multi-stream testing extends RFC 2544 to QoS measurement onup to 1024 streams per port.

Duplex Two-way data transmission over a four-wire transmission line or two fibers.

Duplication Error A directory server fault. If you log out, and then immediately try toreconnect, the directory server may give you a duplication error message because it has not yet

refreshed your user information and thus shows you as still being logged on. Wait a few momentsbefore attempting to reconnect to the directory server. Once the user list is refreshed, you shouldbe able to log on.

DUT Device under test.

E-mail Server A device that stores incoming and outgoing e-mail messages. The protocolmost often used for retrieving messages from the e-mail server to a users workstation is POP3(Post Office Protocol #3). Conversely, the protocol most often used to send e-mail messagesfrom the workstation to the e-mail server is SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol). SMTP is alsoused to enable the source and destination e-mail servers to exchange e-mails.

FCS Error Frame Check Sequence (FCS) errors, a type of CRC, indicate that framesreceived by an interface are an integral number of octets long, but do not pass the FCS check.The FCS is a mathematical method to ensure that all the frames bits are correct without havingthe system examine each bit and compare it to the original. Packets with alignment errors alsogenerate FCS errors.

Both alignment errors and FCS errors can be caused by equipment powering up or down or byinterference (i.e., noise) on unshielded twisted-pair (10BASE-T) segments. In a network thatcomplies with the Ethernet standard, FCS or alignment errors indicate bit errors during atransmission or reception. A very low rate is acceptable. Although Ethernet allows a 1-in-108 biterror rate, typical Ethernet performance is 1-in-1012 or better.

File Server A generic term for a device that provides files upon request. It overlaps othercommonly used terms such as Novell server, NT server, and Unix server, which are more specificbecause they indicate the operating system running in the file server. File servers often provideother functions such as remote access, DHCP, or security related services.

Flags A three-bit IP header field that and is used to control or identify fragments. They are (inorder, from high order to low order): (1) Reserved; must be zero. (2) Dont Fragment (DF). (3)More Fragments (MF). If the DF flag is set and fragmentation is required to route the packet, thenthe packet will drop. This can be used when sending packets to a host that does not havesufficient resources to handle fragmentation. When a packet is fragmented, all fragments havethe MF flag set except the last fragment, which does not have the MF flag set. The MF flag is alsonot set on packets that are not fragmented an unfragmented packet is its own last fragment.

Fragment Offset Configurable IP header field used for QoS verification testing.Part of roundtrip delay measurement or round trip latency measurement. Configurable IP header fields include(TOS, TTL, Protocol, and Frame Offset). See also Bandwidth Sweep.

The fragment offset field, measured in units of eight-byte blocks, is 13 bits long and specifies theoffset of a particular fragment relative to the beginning of the original unfragmented IP datagram.The first fragment has an offset of zero. This permits a maximum offset of 65,528 ((2^{13}-1)\times8) that would exceed the maximum IP packet length of 65,535 with the header lengthincluded.

Frame Data organized in bytes encapsulated with a header and a trailer containinginformation regarding the data. Frame and packet are sometime used interchangeably.

Framed Framed indicates that the test signals are framed (i.e., all ones). Framed addsframing information to the Keep Alive signal. Pseudo-random repeating pattern. Tests circuitsability to reliably transport data between the transmitter and the receiver.

Frame Loss Rate Percentage of frames that should have been forwarded by a networkdevice under steady state (i.e., constant) load that were not forwarded due to lack of resources.

Frame Offset Configurable IP header field used for QoS verification testing.Part of roundtrip delay measurement or round trip latency measurement. Configurable IP header fields include(TOS, TTL, Protocol, and Frame Offset). See also Bandwidth Sweep.

The fragment offset field, measured in units of eight-byte blocks, is 13 bits long and specifies theoffset of a particular fragment relative to the beginning of the original unfragmented IP datagram.The first fragment has an offset of zero. This permits a maximum offset of 65,528 ((2^{13}-1)times8) that would exceed the maximum IP packet length of 65,535 with the header lengthincluded.

Frame Type The format of the frame. Some examples are: SNAP/IP, SNAP/IPX, 802.3/802.2, Ethernet II/IP, Ethernet II/IPX, 802.3/IPX, 802.2/IPX.

FTP File Transfer Protocol - Internet protocol used for transferring files from one computer toanother.

Hop A data link through a bridge or router between stations on a network. For example,trilithic.com is 6 hops away from my PC.

ICMP Internet Control Message Protocol - The IP layer protocol for handling errors and controlmessages.

ID Identification is an IP header field that is primarily used for uniquely identifying fragments of

an original IP datagram. Some experimental work has suggested using the ID field for otherpurposes, such as for adding packet-tracing information to datagrams in order to help trace backdatagrams with spoofed source addresses.

IP Internet Protocol. The protocol developed and used on the Internet. It is now used in nearlyall public and private networks. It provides an addressing structure that allows relaying of packetsin a manner that is logically separated from the underlying physical network. It is a connectionless,best effort protocol designed to work across dissimilar networks.

IP Address A four-byte address always written in decimal with each byte separated by dots.This is an address normally assigned through software and associated with a hardware address

of a network interface card. It can also be associated with a resource on the network such as anSNMP agent.

IPG Interpacket gap, interframe gap (IFG), or interframe spacing. Ethernet devices mustallow a minimum idle period between transmission of Ethernet frames. A short recovery timebetween frames enables devices to get ready for reception of the next frame. The minimuminterframe gap is 96 bit times (the time it takes to transmit 96 bits of raw data on the medium).This is 9.6 s for 10 Mbits/s Ethernet, 960 ns for 100 Mbits/s (fast) Ethernet, 96 ns for 1 Gbits/s(gigabit) Ethernet, and 9.6 ns for 10 Gbits/s 910 gigabit) Ethernet.

IPTV Internet Protocol Television is a system where digital television service is deliveredusing Internet Protocol over a network infrastructure, which may include delivery by a broadbandconnection. A general definition of IPTV is television content that, instead of being deliveredthrough traditional broadcast and cable formats, is received by the viewer through thetechnologies used for computer networks.

IPX Internetwork Packet Exchange is Novell Netwares network layer protocol, which handlesnetwork addressing, routing and packets.

Jitter (Packet Delay Variation) The goal of jitter measurement is to verify that the jitter willnot disrupt normal operation of the circuitry. Jitter is defined as a variation in the delay of receivedpackets. At the sending side, packets are sent in a continuous stream with the packets spacedevenly apart. Due to network congestion, improper queuing, or configuration errors, this steady

stream can become lumpy, or the delay between each packet can vary instead of remainingconstant. Jitter can apply to a number of signal qualities (e.g., amplitude, phase, pulse width, orpulse position), and can be quantified in the same terms as all time-varying signals (e.g., RMS, orpeak-to-peak displacement). Also, like other time-varying signals, jitter can be expressed interms of spectral density (i.e., frequency content). Jitter period is the interval between two times ofmaximum effect (or between two times of minimum effect) of a jitter characteristic, for a jitter thatvaries regularly with time. Jitter frequency, the more commonly quoted figure, is its inverse.Generally, very low jitter frequency is not of interest in designing systems, and the low-frequencycut-off for jitter is typically specified at 1 Hz.

Jumbo Frames Ethernet frames with more than 1,500 bytes of payload (MTU). Usually,

jumbo frames can carry up to 9,000 bytes of payload. However, variations exist and some caremust be taken when using the term. Many, but not all, Gigabit Ethernet switches and GigabitEthernet network interface cards support jumbo frames. Note that all Fast Ethernet switches andFast Ethernet network interface cards support only standard-sized frames. Many national researchand education networks (such as Internet2/NLR, ESnet, GANT and AARNet) support jumboframes. Most commercial Internet service providers do not support jumbo frames.

L2 Layer 2 (OSI model).The Data Link Layer is the protocol layer which transfers databetween adjacent network nodes. Its concerned with local delivery of frames between devices onthe same LAN. Data Link frames do not cross the boundaries of a local network. Inter-networkrouting and global addressing are higher layer functions, allowing Data Link protocols to focus on

local delivery, addressing, and media arbitration.

L3 Layer 3 (OSI model).This network layer is the lowest one in the OSI protocol stack ormodel that is truly involved in transmitting and receiving datagrams and or packets from onecomputer to another, even if it is on a remote network. On the other hand, the data link layer (L4)only deals with devices that are local to one another.

Layer 3 handles IP; IPv6; IP NAT; IPsec; Mobile IP; ICMP; IPX; DLC; PLP; and routing protocolssuch as RIP and BGP.

L3 is responsible for logical addressing; routing; datagram encapsulation; fragmentation andreassembly; error handling and diagnostics.

L4 Layer 4 (OSI model). This transport layers overall job is to enable communicationbetween software application processes on different computers. Layer 4 handles TCP and UDP,

SPX, and NetBEUI/NBF. This layer is responsible for logical addressing, routing, datagramencapsulation, fragmentation and reassembly, error handling, and diagnostics.

Latency The time interval starting when the last bit of the input frame reaches the input portand ending when the first bit of the output frame is seen on the output port.

Locate Using SNMP, find and identify the switch or hub port that a station is connected to.

MAC Media Access Control, IEEE 802.3ae.

MAC Address The unique address of each hardware component, NIC card, hub, switch, etc.,on a network. These are assigned by the manufacturer of the networking equipment when thehardware is produced.

MAC Loopback The process of transmitting and receiving packets at the MAC layer andreporting delay, the quantity transmitted and received as well as any errors which occur.

MPLS Multi Protocol Label Switching is a data-carrying mechanism that is part of the family ofpacket-switched networks. MPLS operates at an OSI Model layer, which is normally consideredto lie between traditional definitions of Layer 2 (Data Link Layer) and Layer 3 (Network Layer).So, it is often called a Layer 2.5 protocol. It can be used to carry many different types of traffic:IP packets, native ATM, SONET, and Ethernet frames.

Multicast A subset of a Broadcast where a packet is only delivered to a subset of all possibledestinations that share a multicast address.

NFS Server Network File System - A Sun Microsystems protocol allowing computers on thesame network use data stored on other computers as if it were on local disks. An NFS server isusually a UNIX server.

Optical Cable A technology that transmits light rather than electricity through a fiber that ismade of thin, flexible glass or plastic. Fiber optic cables are replacing older copper cables formost telecommunications applications.

Optical Power Measurement The power level in optical communications is too wide toexpress on a linear scale. A logarithmic scale known as decibel (dB) is used to express power inoptical communications.

The wide range of power values makes dB a convenient unit to express the power levels in anoptical system. The gain of an amplifier or attenuation in fiber is expressed in dB. The decibeldoes not provide a magnitude of power, however it states the ratio of output power to input power.

Packet Arrival Interval (PAI) An algorithm used for time synchronization and sub-microsecond accuracy.

Packet Sequence Errors Truly excessive jitter can lead to packet sequence errors wheresevere traffic congestion in packet switched networks causes packets to take alternative routes to

the same receiver. This can result in out-of-order packet arrivals that damage either speech orvideo or both.

Payload IP datagram or the data you transfer in the IP packet. It is usually encrypted and/orauthenticated.

Ping Packet InterNet Groper is a commonly used test that determines whether a device canbe reached. Generally, from a command line, a user types ping 0.1.2.3 to determinewhether the device at IP address 0.1.2.3 can be reached. The response is often an indication ofthe success of the test and a time stamp designating the length of the query-response, usually inmilliseconds. The ping tests reachability by sending an ICMP echo request to a destination andwaiting for a reply.

POP Post Office Protocol is an e-mail post office protocol that allows a single user hostsystem to connect to a server and download e-mail.

Protocol This field defines the protocol used in the data portion of an IP datagram.

QinQ See VLAN stacking

RFC 2544 This particular Request for Comments (RFC) standard is a benchmarkingmethodology for network interconnect devices. It defines a specific set of tests that measure andregister the performance characteristics of network devices. The MetroNet 5000 supportsthroughput, latency, frame loss, and back-to-back frames without loss, all varying frame sizes

defined in RFC 2544 standard on optical 10G XFP, 1G/100M and copper 10/100/1000 BASE-T.RIP Routing Information Protocol - An interior gateway protocol that allows groups of hosts onLAN share routing information.

RTT Round-trip time or round-trip delay time. The elapsed time for transit of a signal over aclosed circuit, or time elapsed for a message to a remote location and back again. Round-tripdelay time is significant in systems that require two-way interactive communication, such asvoice telephony, or ACK/NAK data systems where the round-trip time directly affects thethroughput rate, such as the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). It may range from a very fewmicroseconds for a short line-of-sight (LOS) radio system to many seconds for a multiple-linkcircuit with one or more satellite links involved. This includes the node delays as well as the mediatransit time.

Regarding TCP communication, the RTT time is calculated from the 3-way handshake bymeasuring the time between segment transmission and ACK receipt.

SAP request Service Advertisement Protocol is a Netware protocol for publicizing the currentnetwork address of available services.

Server A computer or service that is shared among stations on the network. Any device onthe network that provides services upon request.

SFP Small form-factor pluggable (SFP) is a compact, hot-pluggable optical transceiver usedin optical communications for both telecommunication and data communications applications. Itinterfaces a network device mother board (for a switch, router or similar device) to a fiber optic orunshielded twisted pair networking cable. It is a popular industry format supported by several fiberoptical component vendors.

SFP transceivers are designed to support SONET, Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and othercommunications standards. The SFP standard is expanding to SFP+, which will be able tosupport data rates up to 10.0 Gbits/s (that will include the data rates for 8 gigabit Fibre Channel,and 10GigE SFP+ module versions for optics as well as copper are being introduced. Incomparison to Xenpak, X2 or XFP type of modules. SFP+ modules leave some of the circuitry tobe implemented on the host board instead of inside the module.

SMTP Simple Mail Transfer Protocol is an Internet e-mail protocol used to send or transfer e-mail between hosts.

SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol is a standard protocol used to manage nodeson an IP network.

SNMP agent Devices that are being managed in a network can contain an SNMP agent. Anetwork management program or device sends a query to the agent. The agent retrieves therequested value from a database stored in the managed device and sends the reply. SNMPagents often retrieve and reply with statistics about the managed device. Examples includeutilization values on ports, address tables that are stored, and vendor profiles. The protocol usedto communicate the information is the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).

Station Or, workstation is a computer on the network.

Statistics The measurement of key network parameters such as utilization, frame andprotocol traffic.

Subnet A portion of the network that shares a network address with other subnets.

Subnet mask A bit mask used to identify which bits in an IP address apply to the subnet.

TAP Test access ports. A network TAP is a hardware device that provides a method toaccess data flowing across a computer network. Computer networks, including the Internet, arecollections of devices such as computers, routers, and switches that are connected to each other.These connections can utilize different technologies, such as Ethernet, 802.11, FDDI, and ATM. Itis often desirable for a third party to monitor the network traffic between two points in the network,

point A and point B. If the network between points A and B consists of a physical cable, a networkTAP may be the best way to accomplish this monitoring. The network TAP has at least three ports an A port, a B port, and a monitor port.

Network test access ports were developed as portable diagnostic tools to gain temporary, out-of-band, non-intrusive access to traffic between two network devices. The monitored traffic issometimes referred to as pass-through traffic. While the ports that are used for monitoring are themonitor ports.

TDR Time-domain reflectometry is a cable diagnostics measurement technique that is usedto determine the characteristics of electrical lines by observing reflected waveforms.

Throughput Objective: To determine the DUT throughput as defined in RFC 1242.

Time to Live A field in an IP packet which indicates how long the packet should be allowed toexist before being discarded.

TPID Tag Protocol Identifier is a 16-bit field set to a 0x8100 value that identifies the frame asan IEEE 802.1Q-tagged frame.

Traceroute A ping-like network utility tool that reveals the number of hops to the destinationas well as the time delays to each hop along the way. Traceroute is useful for locating bottlenecksin network traffic.

TTL See Time to Live.Type of Service A field in an IP packet that controls the quality of service that the packetrequires. The internet is a best effort network, using the Type of Service bits; higher grades ofservice can be requested. If the network equipment supports better service, i.e., VoIP, betterservice will be provided.

Unframed No Ethernet framing is part of the packet. Unframed indicates the test signals areall ones). Unframed transmits the Keep Alive signal without framing. Framed adds framinginformation to the Keep Alive signal. Tests circuits ability to reliably transport data between thetransmitter and the receiver.

Unicast A frame sent to a specific single destination.

U/P User Priority meaning Priority Code Point (PCP) which is a 3-bit field that refers to theIEEE 802.1p priority. It indicates the frame priority level from 0 (lowest) to 7 (highest) that can beused to prioritize different classes of communications traffic (e.g., voice, video, data, etc).

Utilization A measure of how much of the networks bandwidth is being used. It is usuallyexpressed as a percent of the maximum line speed in the network. For example, if the networkscurrent usage is running at 2 Mb/sec and the bandwidth available (line speed) is 100 Mb/sec.; wesay the utilization is 2 percent.

VID VLAN Identifier is a 12-bit field that specifies the VLAN to which the frame belongs. Avalue of 0 means that the frame doesnt belong to any VLAN. In this case, the 802.1Q tagspecifies only a priority and is referred to as a priority tag. A value of hex FFF is reserved forimplementation use. All other values may be used as VLAN identifiers, allowing up to 4094VLANs. On bridges, VLAN 1 is often reserved for management.

VLAN Scan and Traffic Monitor Scan up to 4k VLAN IDs for switch configurationverification. Verify which VLAN IDs are the heaviest bandwidth users and monitor up to 8 livetraffic streams (in terminated mode).

VLAN Stacking A method enabling carriers to offer multiple virtual LANs over a single circuit.Generally, the carrier creates an Ethernet VPN to tunnel customer VLANs across a WAN. Thishelps to avoid name conflicts among customers of service providers who connect to the carrier.Stacking works by assigning two VLAN IDs to each frame header. One is a backbone VLAN IDused by the service provider; the other VLAN ID has up to 4,096 unique 802.1Q VLAN tags.

Using the VLAN Stacking (QinQ) feature, service providers can use a single VLAN to supportcustomers who have multiple VLANs. Customer VLAN IDs are preserved, and traffic fromdifferent customers is segregated within the service provider infrastructure, even when the trafficappears to be on the same VLAN.

Web Server A network server that contains files that describe Internet pages. The pages areusually developed in a language named Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). A companys homepage is an example of an HTML file that can be retrieved from a web server.

WINS Server A type of name server used in the Microsoft NT environment. WINS stands forWindows Internet Name Services. It is a variation of DNS.
