Number of traps Service Assurance Manager can successfully process

This benchmark defines how many traps per second the Service Assurance Manager can successfully process. The following points were considered when setting up the benchmark environment:

• The benchmark is based on receiving a mix of new notifications from multiple traps

• The trap adapter will be tested with, and without ASL scripts in use

• The trap adapter is flooded using a trap generator with traps ranging from 2000 to 10000 TPM to reach it’s optimum limit

• SAM servers, Trap Exploder, Trap Adapter are running on the same machine.

  The following configurations were tested:

• One trap adapter, no trap exploder, ASL script disabled

• One trap adapter, with trap exploder, ASL script disabled

• One trap adapter, with trap exploder, ASL script enabled

• One trap adapter, with trap exploder, ASL script enabled, with Queue limits settings

• Two trap adapters, with trap exploder, ASL script enabled
