Overview

The latency test measures the delay incurred by frames passing through the system under test (SUT). It alsomeasures the amount of jitter, which is the variation in latency over many frames. Latency and jitter are keyperformance metrics that determine how well the SUT can handle traffic, such as voice or real-time video,that is sensitive to the delay between source and destination. This test measures latency and jitter accordingto RFC 2544 and RFC 3550, respectively.

Measured Latency

The following graph summarizes the measured minimum, maximum, and average latency performance of theSUT at the specified frame sizes, accumulated over all trials. Lower values indicate better performance. Also,a smaller difference between maximum and minimum latency indicates a better-performing SUT datapath.

Normal values for latency range from 1 to 1000 microseconds. Values in excess of 20 milliseconds are causefor concern, as they can pose problems for VoIP traffic.

Latency Histograms

The following latency histograms show the distribution of latency values produced by the SUT. Eachhistogram has 16 buckets (time ranges) into which the measured latency values are placed; the bucketboundaries are determined automatically during the test. Each bucket contains the number of measured

20201124-145836\Report_unicast_latency.pdf November 24, 2020 2

latency values that were less than the upper boundary of the bucket, and greater than the upper boundary ofthe preceding bucket. A separate histogram is plotted for each frame size, offered load and trial.

Ideally, all of the measured latency values should be clustered into as few buckets as possible, indicating aconsistent and uniform delay through the SUT datapath.

Methodology

The test is performed by associating test clients with the SUT ports, performing any desired learningtransmissions, and then generating test traffic between the test clients. Proprietary timestamps inserted ineach test traffic frame are then used to calculate the minimum, maximum and average latency as per RFC2544, as well as the smoothed interarrival jitter according to RFC 3550. The results are recorded separatelyfor each combination of test conditions, as well as for each trial if multiple trials are run. Results frommultiple trials are averaged into the graphs shown above.

Different intended loads (ILOADs) and frame sizes can be set up, to understand how latency varies withdifferent types of traffic in a real environment. Each combination of ILOAD and frame size is testedseparately. Test traffic may be configured to flow either from Ethernet to wireless, from wireless to Ethernet,or from wireless to wireless. If multiple APs are involved in the test, the ILOAD is divided evenly across theAPs; if multiple clients are associated with an AP, the ILOAD for that AP is divided evenly between theclients.

Latency measurements are made accurately even in the presence of frame loss. However, the ILOAD shouldbe set such that no frame loss occurs; otherwise, buffer occupancy delays can obscure actual SUT datapathdelays. The throughput test may be used to determine this traffic level.

The RSSI is measured at the WaveBlade SMA connector. RSSI values should be between -25 dBm and -35dBm for port types of 80211 and 80211n ports when the RX attenuation (RxAtt*) option is 'off'. For 80211nport types with attenuation 'on' the RSSI values at the port should be between -5 dBm and -15 dBm. If theRSSI is not in this range, modify the external attenuation to bring it into this range.
