Performance of Test Agent running on Juniper Networks® ACX7000 Family routers

This page describes expected performance for a Test Agent running on an ACX7000 Family router.

The precision for latency measurements is normally better than 5 ms, but exceptions may occur for example during routing convergence or under other significant system load.

To ensure that traffic bound for the Paragon Active Assurance Test Agent doesn’t overwhelm the router, this traffic occupies its own DDOS queue, and the bandwidth is limited to 140 Mbit/s for the ACX7100 and the ACX7509 routers and to 40 Mbit/s for the ACX7024 router.

The measurement tasks supported on ACX7000 Family routers are listed here.

Network performance: UDP (single-stream, bidirectional)

Router model	Frame size (bytes)	Rate (Mbit/s)	Rate (pps)
ACX7024	64	1	1953
ACX7024	1518	40	3293
ACX7100	64	5	9765
ACX7100	1518	140	11528
