ITO – Internetwork Throughput Option

Introduction

The Internetwork Throughput Option (ITO) is a Fluke OneTouchSeries II Network Assistant software option that is used to test enterprise-wide throughput or to evaluate line capacity. ITO’s counterpart, xDSL, verifies the operation of digital subscriber lines.

ITO/xDSL consists of two components:

Throughput Test – double ended test of network bandwidth which requires two OneTouch Series II Network Assistants.

Traffic Generator - tests traffic load capacity.

Table 7-1. ITO and xDSL Terminology

ITO and xDSL throughput tests are identical in theory of operation and will be described in tandem in this chapter. The two options have different Fluke OneTouch hardware revision and software version requirements and use different terminology to reference their technology. Table 7-1 shows common terminology for ITO with its xDSL equivalent.
