1. Overview
This document covers Ethernet testing procedures used for Business Services customer activation,
fault isolation and troubleshooting. At customer activation, test equipment is used to validate the
performance of an Ethernet circuit and to verify conformance to the agreed upon Service Level
Agreement (SLA).
1.1
Hardware Description
The T-BERD 6000A is a portable test tools for Ethernet testing. The product comes in Ethernet only
or Ethernet/T1/T3/SONET variations and works in conjunction with a fiber cleaning and inspection kit
to help turn-up and maintain Ethernet links. Menu selections are made from the T-BERD 6000A front
panel and touch screen.

RFC-2544 Test Procedures
The following procedures describe how to measure throughput, frame loss, round trip delay, and jitter
with the T-BERD 6000A in accordance with the RFC-2544 Metro Ethernet benchmarking
methodology.
Test procedures are described for:
 Electrical and Optical handoffs
 10Mbps, 100Mbps, and 1Gbps links
 Layer 2 and Layer 3 IPv4 testing
 JDSU T-BERD 6000A, T-BERD 5800, and HST-3000 loopback devices
Procedures are described for RFC-2544 Tests to verify throughput, round trip delay, jitter, and frame
loss SLA metrics. Technicians should follow procedure in one of the following sections, depending on
his location (A-side or Z-side) and whether he is using a T-BERD 6000A, T-BERD 5800, or HST3000 test equipment. The RFC-2544 test is run from the A-Side. The Z-side is placed in loopback.

Check LED Results
Press the Right Arrow key until LED Results are displayed. A Green
Signal Present LED indicates that the HST-3000 is receiving an optical
signal from the near end Ethernet Switch. Green Sync Acquired and
Link Active LEDs indicate that the HST-3000 has successfully
connected to the near end Ethernet switch and the Ethernet link is active.

Check ARP Status
If you are running a Layer 3 IPv4 Test, verify that the final message in
the Message bar is “ARP Successful”
If “ARP Successful” is not displayed, verify that the HST-3000’s IP

RFC-6349 Test Procedures
The following procedures describe how to measure Layer 4 TCP throughput with the T-BERD 6000A
in accordance with the RFC-6349 benchmarking methodology. The RFC-2544 procedure outlined in
Section 2 should be completed prior to RFC-6349 testing.
Test procedures are described for:
 Electrical and Optical handoffs
 10Mbps, 100Mbps, and 1Gbps links
Technicians should follow procedure in one of the following sections, depending on his location (A
side or Z side). The RFC-6349 test is run from the A-Side. The Z-side is configured as a TCP Server.
