iMIX

iMIX

Internet Mix or iMIX refers to typical Internet traffic passing some network equipment such as routers, switches or firewalls. When measuring equipment performance using an iMIX of packets the performance is assumed to resemble what can be seen in "real-world" conditions.

iMix is used in RFC Benchmark performance test cases.

To add an iMIX object:
  1. Go to Cases > Performance Testing > Objects > iMIX.
  2. Click Create New.
  3. Enter a name for the iMIX object.
  4. Click OK.
  5. Click Create New under Settings Management.
  6. Set the Frame Size, Packet Size, and Weight.

    Frame size cannot be repeated, and currently supports up to 10 records.

You can later reference the iMIX object when you create test cases.
