ATTACHMENT 1 FOR SOLICITATION HC101319QA617

1) CONUS NO JUMBO FRAME ETHERNET.

2) VENDOR WILL PERFORM ACCEPTANCE TESTING IN ACCORDANCE WITH

EITHER RFC-6815 OR ITU-T Y.1564. VENDOR MUST TEST THE CIRCUIT FOR 24

HOURS IAW ITU-T.Y.1564 SPECIFICALLY, FRAME SIZES OF

64,128,256,512,1024,1280 AND 1518 BYTES MUST BE USED. THE TEST MUST

VERIFY LENGTH OF RECEIVED FRAMES, INDICATE NUMBER OF FRAMES

DROPPED, NUMBER OF FRAMES RECEIVED OUT OF ORDER, AND DUPLICATE

FRAMES. TESTS MUST BE BI-DIRECTIONAL USING THE SAME DATA RATE IN

EACH DIRECTION.

3) BURST TESTS MUST BE RUN TO DETERMINE MINIMUM INTERVAL BETWEEN

FRAMES THAT CAN BE PROCESSED WITHOUT FRAME LOSS.

4) A THROUGHPUT TEST IS REQUIRED INDICATING THE FASTEST RATE AT

WHICH TEST FRAMES CAN BE TRANSMITTED WITHOUT FRAME LOSS.

5) A SEPARATE THROUGHPUT TEST MUST BE RUN WITH FRAMES ADDRESSED TO

THE HARDWARE BROADCAST ADDRESS CONSTITUTING AT LEAST 1% OF THE

TEST STREAM AND BE EVENLY DISTRIBUTED THROUGHOUT THE TEST.

6) A LATENCY TEST MUST BE RUN FOR A PERIOD OF NO LESS THAN 120

SECONDS, AND REPEATED NO LESS THAT 20 TIMES. THE TEST STREAM FOR

THE LATENCY TEST SHOULD BE RUN AT THE THROUGHPUT RATE FOR

CORRESPONDING FRAME SIZES FROM THE THROUGHPUT TEST. END TO END

LATENCY WILL BE CALCULATED AS THE AVERAGE OVER THE 20 TEST RUNS.

FRAME LOSS RATE TESTS SHOULD BE RUN AT THE FRAME RATE

CORRESPONDING TO THE MAXIMUM FRAME RATE, AND REDUCED BY 10%

INTERVALS UNTIL THERE ARE AT LEAST TWO CONSECUTIVE RUNS IN WHICH

NO FRAMES ARE LOST.

7) THROUGHPUT TEST RESULTS: PASSING RATE 100% FOR ALL FRAME BYTE

SIZES EXERCISED. FRAME LOSS RATE (%) RESULTS: FRAME LOSS RATE LESS

THAN 0.01% FOR ALL FRAME BYTE SIZES EXERCISED.

8) LATENCY WILL BE MEASURED WILL BE ACCORDING TO THE FOLLOWING

MAXIMUM TRANSMISSION DELAY FOR ANY CIRCUIT UP TO 500 MILES AIR-

MILES IN LENGTH SHALL BE NO GREATER THAN 13MS ONE-WAY AND ANY

POINT-TO-POINT CIRCUIT LONGER THAN 500 AIR-MILES SHALL BE NO

GREATER THAN 50MS ONE WAY WITHIN THE 48 CONTINENTAL STATES. ANY

APS SWITCHOVER SHALL TAKE LESS THAN 50 MILLISECONDS MONTHLY

AVAILABILITY SHALL BE NO LESS THAN 99.5%.
