Artificial Traffic Generation of ISO (International Organization for Standardization's) Transport Class IV Protocol Data Units on an IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) 802.3 10 Megabit CSMA/CD Local Area Network

摘要

The National Bureau of Standards' Institute for Computer Sciences and Technology (ICST) is testing the International Organization for Standardization's (ISO) Transport Class IV protocol on an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.3 Local Area Network. Part of the test facility includes an artificial traffic generator that produces ISO Transport Class IV protocol data units encapsulated in IEEE 802.2 Type 1 Class 1 Logical Link frames. The traffic generator submits the frames to the network for transmission. This document describes the architecture and usage of the traffic generator for multi-host and multi-connection traffic.
