Configuring TWAMP Light Functions

This section describes how to configure TWAMP Light functions, including configuring the Controller and Responder.

Usage Scenario

As TWAMP Light simplifies deployment and supports plug-and-play, you can use TWAMP Light to rapidly and flexibly measure the round-trip performance of an IP network, such as the two-way packet loss rate, jitter, and delay.

Pre-configuration Tasks

Before configuring TWAMP Light functions, complete the following tasks:

Ensure that devices on the live network support TWAMP Light and comply with standard protocols.
Ensure that the Controller and Responder are routable and IP links between them work properly.

Configuring the TWAMP Light Responder: The TWAMP Light Responder responds to TWAMP test packets sent by the TWAMP Light Controller.

Configuring the TWAMP Light Controller: The TWAMP Light Controller integrates the Control-Client and Session-Sender. The Control-Client establishes, starts, and stops a test session and collects statistics. The Session-Sender starts or stops a test session and sends probes to the Responder for performance statistics.

Verifying the Configuration of the TWAMP Light Statistics Collection Function: After configuring the TWAMP Light statistics collection function, verify the configurations.
