Testing methodology

Throughput testing was carried out on a laboratory bench, which consists of two radio devices and the communication channel established between them. A device for traffic generation, operating according to RFC2544 standard, is connected to the GE0 interfaces of radio devices.

The traffic generator creates data streams consisting of UDP datagrams with a specified length: two data streams, from Master to Slave and from Slave to Master. In addition, testing is performed for various modulation code schemes and frame sizes.

Firmware version

The firmware version installed on the device affects performance, stability, and the range of features available for configuration.
