Starting an RFC 2544 loss rate test
FortiTester tests the ability of the DUT to handle different types of RFC 2544 loss rate. According to RFC2544, to determine the frame loss rate, as defined in RFC1242 of a DUT throughout the entire range of input data rates and frame sizes.
To start a loss rate test:
- Go to Cases > Performance Testing > RFC Benchmark > RFC 2544 > Loss Rate to display the test case summary page.
- Click + Create New to display the Case Options dialog box.
- In the pop-up dialog, configure DUT Working Mode as TP or NAT.
- For the Network Config option, select the network template you have created in Cases > Security Testing > Objects > Networks. Then the network related options will automatically be filled. See Using network configuration templates for how to create a network template.
- Select a Certificate Group if applicable.
- Click OK to continue.
- Configure the test case options described below.
- Click Start to run the test case.
FortiTester saves the configuration automatically so you can run the test again later. You can also click Save to save the test case without running it.

Tip 1: You can also copy an existing case, and change its settings to create a new case. In the case list, click Clone to clone the configuration. Only the case name is different from the original case. Tip 2: You can add or edit a comment when the test is running. This comment can be used to search for the test result in the Results page. This is useful especially when the test runs for a long time. |
RFC 2544 Test Case configuration specific to Loss Rate Test
| Settings | Guidelines |
|---|---|
| Load | |
| Up/Down Granularity | Custom Load only. Traffic speed per cycle. 0 means sending speed in the next traffic cycle is equal to "Receive Mbps" in the previous cycle. 1 - 20 is the sending speed float percentage of maximum speed in the next cycle. |
| Correct Loss Rate Cycle | Custom Load only. Set to 1. Not configurable. |
