Traditional Ethernet KPI measurements such as throughput, frame loss, latency, and jitter were once sufficient to validate network performance, but they no longer provide adequate coverage in modern environments, especially with LTE, 4G, and virtualized computing introducing bursty traffic patterns. Ensuring a high‑quality customer experience now requires testing that verifies both network configuration and resilience under burst conditions at the Ethernet layer and the transmission‑convergence layer. An integrated burst‑testing approach enables carriers to confirm proper configuration and robust service performance.
