Before configuring NQA to monitor virtual private networks (VPNs), familiarize yourself with the usage scenario and complete the pre-configuration tasks.
Test Type |
Usage Scenario |
|---|---|
PWE3 ping test |
A PWE3 ping test helps detect the pseudo wire (PW) connectivity, packet loss rate, and delay on a virtual private wire service (VPWS) network. |
VPLS PW ping test |
A virtual private local area network service (VPLS) pseudo wire (PW) ping test instance monitors the PW connectivity, packet loss ratios, and delay time on a VPLS network. |
PWE3 trace test |
A Pseudowire Emulation Edge-to-Edge(PWE3) trace test monitors the pseudo wire (PW) connectivity, packet loss ratios, and delay time on virtual private wire service (VPWS) networks. |
VPLS PW trace test |
A virtual private local area network service (VPLS) pseudo wire (PW) trace test instance monitors the PW connectivity, packet loss ratios, and delay time on a VPLS network. |
