Are you getting enough? Police your WAN SLAs Every time you order a WAN service or leased line, you negotiate a service level agreement or SLA. Usually all is well for the first few weeks or months, but then users start to complain that “things are going slow” and you begin to wonder if certain WAN links and services are actually being provided at the SLA levels you agreed with the service provider. Super versatility: Introducing UniPro MGig1. But for many network managers, there is no simple way to tell. PC or laptop-based speed tests are affected by far too many external factors to be at all reliable. In fact, most service providers will not accept PC-based measurements as legitimate evidence in SLA disputes. And with a PC, you can‘t measure the critical difference between the SLA’s Committed Information Rate (CIR or guaranteed bandwidth) and its Excess Information Rate (EIR or non-guaranteed additional bandwidth). However, now you can! UniPRO MGig1 PLUS and UniPRO MGig1 PRO dual port models all have the capability to check whether all of your SLA conditions are being met - and if not will give you the exact figures to raise your SLA trouble ticket and compensation claim. Anyone can test At its simplest, UniPRO MGig1’s SLA-Tick test really is plug and press. Simply insert the UniPRO MGig1 tester into the service provider‘s network demarcation point or UNI (User Network Interface point). Get someone else to plug in a UniPRO SEL1 (or a second UniPRO MGig1) at the far end of the link. That’s all they need to do - the testing is all controlled from your end. You can now run the very same tests your service provider runs – to check ALL the SLA parameters. Within a few minutes you’ll have exact figures for all your SLA parameters: You can even run extended tests to see how the service performs over approximately 24 hours. Now you know whether your service provider is providing the service it promised or not!
Are you buying enough bandwidth? Or too much? What if your SLA testing proves that the service provider is meeting the SLA – but you’ve still got users complaining the network is ‘slow? Frequently this turns out to be overloading of the link‘s available bandwidth - because user traffic or perhaps server-to-server or some other background traffic has become ‘invisible’ without the network manager‘s knowledge. Use UniPRO MGig1’s top ten bandwidth users test function to easily see which users (servers or PCs) are hogging the bandwidth. Compare your usage to your SLA Often, networks are struggling because they outgrow the Committed Information Rate (CIR). They seem to operate satisfactorily for parts of the day but then slow down at other times. This is usually because the level of traffic comes to rely on using the extra bandwidth available under the EIR (Excess Information Rate) provision. The trouble is, this EIR is only available when the service provider’s network is not busy. When the network operator’s busy time comes each day – so your IT users begin to complain that “everything is going slow!“
Make Informed Decisions Once UniPRO MGig1 has identified the true traffic scenario, you can take management action. Now that you can see the true level of traffic, you might decide to upgrade your SLA CIR/EIR bandwidths with your carrier or service provider to coincide with your organisation’s true needs. Alternatively, if cost is your priority, UniPRO MGig1 is the ideal tool to avoid costly bandwidth upgrades - by helping you to manage your organisation’s bandwidth requirements. For example - scheduling non time-critical processes such as backups and database synchronisation to consume bandwidth during quiet times instead of the busy hours can help you to stay within your existing CIR.
Tests Include: • Multi service (stream) Committed Information Rate (CIR) or guaranteed bandwidth • Excess Information Rate (EIR) or non-guaranteed ‘best efforts’ additional bandwidth • Frame loss percentage • Delay or latency • Jitter or delay variation • Service Disruption Time (SDT) • Bit Error Rate Single button Autotest Many link testing jobs require a whole sequence of tests to be run. UniPRO MGig1 has Autotest - a very easy to set up auto sequence testing function - just tick the items required. This allows unmanned operation once the test sequence has commenced. RFC 2544 The testing technique in most common use for service turn-up on access and leased line Ethernet services. UniPRO MGig1 and UniPRO SEL1 cover all of the requirements for testing: • Throughput • Latency • Jitter • Frameloss • Back to back • System recovery RFC2544 testing can be very time consuming, so UniPRO MGig1 provides a choice of test profiles from Super-Fast to Full. UniPRO MGig1 can perform RFC2544 testing in loopback or Bi-Directional topologies. Bit Error Ratio Test - BERT A traditional test method in many telecommunications transmission systems, BERT is used in Ethernet links to test the frame payload from layer 1 to layer 4. It does this by putting pre-defined patterns of data into the frames and checking them bit by bit at the receiver. Individual bit errors are counted and expressed as a ratio of the data received. UniPRO MGig1 will report when the error ratio exceeds pre-defined limits. Y. 1564 (NetSAM) multi-service (stream) test Unlike RFC2544 which was never intended for access and metro Ethernet link testing, Y.1564 has been developed specifically to be both quicker and more thorough. NetSAM, Y.1564 test methodology built into UniPRO MGig1 PRO models - uniquely tests the configuration for each service individually to trap configuration problems. It then performs rapid sequential testing of up to eight services - to ensure that they will operate without interference and with the correct level of Committed and Excess Information Rates (CIR/EIR). UniPRO MGig1 can also test colour aware networks. Single and multi-service (stream) SLA-Tick test Not all installations and service turn-ups require Y.1564 testing - but with the complexity of most metro, access and backhaul links - multiple services and often multiple VLANs for service priority are needed. All models of UniPRO MGig1 have a simplified version of Y.1564 which is called SLA-Tick. This synthesises up to eight concurrent services or streams - with error injection - and measures information rate, frame loss, jitter, latency and error performance availability.
