Aukua’s RFC 2544 Testing Suite gives you the performance insights you need to deliver with confidence and without surprises. Benchmark smarter, validate faster, and deploy with data you can trust.

 

RFC 2544 is an industry standard methodology for benchmarking the performance of network devices such as switches, routers, and firewalls. It defines a series of tests designed to measure critical performance metrics under realistic conditions in a repeatable and consistent way.

 
     
  RFC 2544 Test Suite Highlights  
     
 
Supports the industry's widest range of Ethernet interfaces, including Automotive Ethernet
Highest-precision measurements of latency, packet jitter, and loss
Fully configurable test conditions with custom frame size distributions
Detailed test report with both tabular and graphed results
Full automation support for scripting, regression testing, and CI/CD workflows
Enhanced with additional packet capture and jamming capabilities
 
     
  RFC 2544 Testing Advantages  
     
  Early Product Validation  
 
  Network equipment vendors rely on RFC 2544 to validate that their products meet performance expectations and industry benchmarks. These tests help fine-tune device behavior early in development, reducing the risk of costly issues later in deployment.
 
     
  Benchmark Performance  
 
  RFC 2544 offers a standardized way to measure and compare network device performance. Equipment manufacturers, enterprises, and service providers can assess how their infrastructure stacks up against competitors and internal performance goals.
 
     
  Establish Baseline and Trends  
 
  As networks evolve and workloads shift, RFC 2544 testing helps establish a reliable performance baseline. Regular testing makes it easier to detect gradual degradation or emerging bottlenecks before they impact operations.
 
     
  Troubleshoot Bottlenecks  
 
  When network issues arise, RFC 2544 tests can help isolate underperforming devices or links. Targeted benchmarking across different configurations enables teams to identify root causes and take corrective action more quickly.
 
     
  Verify Readiness Before Launch  
 
  Before rolling out new infrastructure or services, RFC 2544 testing validates network readiness under realistic and stressful traffic conditions. This ensures that devices and links meet performance expectations prior to launch, minimizing risk and avoiding costly post-deployment issues.t
 
     
  Ensure SLA Compliance  
 
  Service providers use RFC 2544 testing to ensure their networks meet or exceed SLA requirements. By verifying latency, throughput, and packet loss under defined conditions, these tests provide objective proof of service quality, helping to prevent SLA violations.
 
     
  The RFC 2544 core tests  
     
 

 
 

Throughput: Find the maximum rate at which frames can be forwarded without any loss

 
     
   
 

Latency: Measure the latency experienced by packets during transmission and forwarding

 
     
   
     
 

Frame Loss: Characterize the frame loss ratio under varying loads and packet sizes

 
     
   
 

Back-to-Back Frames: Determine burst-handling capability with minimum inter-frame gaps
