CPE Activation Test seeks to find out the link throughput in both directions and report the test results.
Test methodology
The test follows RFC2544 methodology. The test runs UDP traffic of multiple streams in one direction, it is run multiple times and use binary search to find the sustained throughput where there is 0% packet loss. The test is then repeated in the reverse direction to find the throughput in this direction.
The test takes 4 to 8 minutes of time to complete.
Note. Running this test while there are live customer traffic could impact their user experiences.
