Chapter 3 Using IPM to Measure Network Performance

Measuring Network Performance for Enhanced UDP

Defining an Enhanced UDP Operation

IPM provides several default Enhanced UDP operations for measuring performance between a source and target. In addition, IPM provides the option to create, modify, or delete your own Enhanced UDP operations from the Enhanced UDP Operation Configuration window.

To define an Enhanced UDP operation:

Step 1 From the IPM Main Window, select Edit > Configuration.

The Configuration window appears.

Step 2 Click Operations.

The Operation Configuration window appears within the Configuration window.

Step 3 Click Enhanced UDP.

The Enhanced UDP Operation Configuration window (Figure 3-24) appears.

Step 4 In the Name field, enter a descriptive name to assign to the operation. In the Description field, you can enter a brief description of the operation, including its purpose.

Step 5 Select the IP QoS Type as IP Precedence or DCSP. The IP QoS Settings values change based on your IP QoS Type selection.

If you have selected IP QoS Type as IP Precedence, select the IP QoS Settings value from the drop-down. The value you select sets the priority for the HTTP request packet. The default setting is 0 (no priority). This option sets the ToS bits in the IP packet.

If you have selected IP QoS Type as DSCP, select the desired IP QoS Settings value from the drop-down. The value you select defines the packet priority and is based on the DSCP RFC standards.
