Configuring TWAMP

This section describes how to configure TWAMP, including configuring the server and session-reflector.

Applicable Environment

TWAMP applies to scenarios in which statistics on the IP network performance must be quickly obtained but do not need to be highly accurate.

Currently, a Huawei device can function only as the server and session-reflector. To implement TWAMP, ensure that devices that can function as the control-client and session-sender exist on the network.

Pre-configuration Tasks

Before configuring TWAMP, complete the following tasks:

• Ensure that some devices on the live network can function as the control-client and session-sender and comply with relevant standards.

• Ensure that the control-client and server are routable and the links between them work properly.

Data Preparation

To configure TWAMP, you need the following data.

No.	Data
1	(Optional) TCP port number and inactive interval for a control session
2	(Optional) Inactive interval for a test session

Configuring the Server

This section describes how to configure the TWAMP server, which responds to the control-client's request for establishing, starting, or stopping a TWAMP session.

Configuring the Session-Reflector

This section describes how to configure the session-reflector. The session-reflector replies to the probes sent by the session-sender after being notified by the server.

Verifying the TWAMP Configuration

After configuring TWAMP, verify the configuration.
