This application note looks at the task of testing switches or networks in order to determine their signalling performance.

The Agilent Technologies' E1600A Multiport UNI Signalling Performance Test Module is specifically designed to suit this need.

Four case studies, collected from live networks, will be examined in detail in order to illustrate different aspects of signalling performance in switches and networks.

Topics covered in this application note include

• How well does your switch or network perform?
• Why signalling performance is important
• Key performance factors to consider
• The call life-cycle
• Key signalling performance parameters
• How to measure the key performance parameters
• Case Study 1: Maximum active calls
• Case Study 2: Call setup performance
• Case Study 3: Burst response
• Case Study 4: Call cycling performance
