15.2. Each-Other Test Case

Each-Other test case which designed for the switch, router and so on. This test is used to test the whole LAN ports performance. This test case will make the DUT ports into multiple pairs of test ports, like 1 & 2, 3 & 4 and so on. And send streams to each other. So it would ask the customer to add the even number of ports to the port map.

The testbed setup is shown as in Fig. 15.4.

The Each-Other test case can be implemented by Xena2544 with Pairs topology + Bidirectional traffic.
