The time from the end of the overload condition to when the DUT returns to normal operations should be measured to determine recovery time. Prior to overloading the DUT, one should record the average latency for 10,000 packets forwarded through the DUT. - The suggested overload condition would be to transmit traffic at a very high frame rate to the DUT, for at least 60 seconds, then reduce the frame rate to the DUT by half; A number of time-stamps should be recorded: - - Record the time-stamp at which the frame rate was halved and record a second time-stamp at the time of the last frame lost. The recovery time is the difference between the two timestamps. - - Record the average Latency for 100 frames after the last frame loss and continue to record average latency measurements for every 100 frames, when latency returns to pre-overload levels record the time-stamp. + The overload condition SHOULD be to transmit traffic at a very high frame rate to the DUT (150% of the maximum 0% packet loss rate as determined by LTD.Throughput.RFC2544.PacketLossRatio or line-rate whichever is lower), for at least 60 seconds, then reduce the frame rate to 75% of the maximum 0% packet loss rate.
