Spirent TestCenter: Is it possible to run an RFC2544 throughput test on STC for IPSec?

Environment/Versions
  • Spirent TestCenter
  • RFC2544 throughput test
  • IPSec
Answer
Yes it's possible.

The RFC2544 throughput test should be configured as shown below:
  • Traffic Generator will send the traffic in plain text to DUTa.
  • DUTa will encrypt the traffic and send it to DUTb.
  • DUTb will receive traffic and decrypt it.
  • DUTb will forward traffic in plain text to the Traffic Analyzer.


Which means that Spirent TestCenter ports will send and receive traffic in plain text and the IPSec encryption should be made by customers SUT devices.
