Abstract:

This paper presents the philosophy developed for benchmark communications testing in networks typical of CAD/CAM environments. Implementation of the test philosophy in a connectionless environment (e.g. ethernet), within the framework of ANSI standards X3.102 and X3.141, is described. Application of the approach to testing at layers 3 and 4 in TCP/IP using sockets, and at the application level using file transfers is outlined. Preliminary test results at both of these levels are briefly described for a simple network as a proof of concept.
