../../_images/trsp-dscp-remap.png

This task verifies the expected remapping of Differentiated Services Code Point values between two points in your network.

Test procedure

UDP packets are sent from the sender Test Agent to the receiver Test Agent with different DSCP values, and Paragon Active Assurance checks if they are mapped correctly by the network.

Fail criteria

The test fails if any received DSCP differs from the expected DSCP value.

Limitations

IPv6 is not supported for this task.

Parameters

General

  • Sender: The sender Test Agent interface.

  • Receiver: The receiver Test Agent interface.

Advanced

  • Expected result for DSCP <…>: For each DSCP, state the expected result of the DSCP remapping. Default: The default for all DSCP values is no change.

Result metrics
