3. Ingress/EgressForwarding<strong>Performance</strong> TestObjectiveDetermines the maximum rate at which aLabel Switched Router (LSR) configured asa L3 VPN Provider Edge (PE) node canstrip/pop or apply/push MPLS labels to<strong>and</strong> from incoming IP packets. Theresulting throughput of this operation isthen measured to the point of no loss.SetupThis test requires two ports; one tosimulate the PE router <strong>and</strong> another tosimulate the customer edge (CE) router.Ixia’s IxScriptMate application can be usedto execute this test.IP trafficMPLS trafficNW stubIXIACustomerEdge (CE)OSPFDUTProviderEdge (PE)OSPFLDPIXIAProviderCore (PC)IXIAProviderEdge (PE)MP-i<strong>BGP</strong> session overprovider backboneFigure 8.
