Brief

The toolkit allows examining the performance of TIPC network segments. It consists of test scripts and utilities. Scripts stand for establishing:

• Required testing load
• Specifying  a network configuration and an activities schedule
• Performance measurement and statistic collecting

Utilities provide traffic generation capabilities using specified network protocols such as TCP/TIPC, UDP/TIPC.,TCP/IP, UDP/IP

Architecture

The master script deploys and runs test scripts on several remote machines according to a specified schedule schema. Scripts establish network load by executing special network traffic generation utilities. Those utilities are configurable to use either TCP or UDP connections over either TIPC or IP protocol. The special statistic collection module produces network performance statistics for different stack protocols. It allows determining TIPC protocol usage expediency for different network configurations in comparison to IP based solutions for dedicated network segments.
