Microsoft RAS Test

This test reports the performance statistics that are aggregated across all the ports of the Remote Access Service (RAS) device on the computer.

Target of the test : A Microsoft RAS Server

Agent deploying the test : An internal agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for every port on the RAS server being monitored.

Configurable parameters for the test
Parameters	Description
Test Period	How often should the test be executed.
Host	The host for which this test is to be configured.
Port	The port at which the specified host listens. The default port is Null.

Measurements made by the test
Measurement	Description	Measurement Unit	Interpretation
Bytes transmitted	Indicates the rate at which bytes were transmitted.	Bytes/Sec
Bytes received	Indicates the rate at which bytes were received.	Bytes/Sec	When viewed along with the Bytes_transmitted measure, this measure serves as a good indicator of the traffic on the network.
Frames transmitted	Indicates the number of frames transmitted per second.	Frames/Sec
Frames received	Indicates the number of frames received per second.	Frames/Sec
Total errors	Indicates the number of CRC, Timeout, Serial Overrun, Alignment, and Buffer Overrun errors per second.	Number
Compression ratio for bytes sent	Indicates the compression ratio for the bytes being transmitted.	Percent
Compression ratio for bytes received	Indicates the compression ratio for the bytes being received.	Percent
Total connections	Indicates the number of remote access connections.	Number
CRC errors	Indicates the current number of CRC errors for this port.	Number	CRC errors occur when the frame received contains erroneous data.
Timeout errors	Indicates the current number of timeout errors for this port.	Number	Timeout errors occur when an expected packet is not received in time.
Serial overrun errors	Indicates the current number of serial overrun errors for this port.	Reqs/Sec	Serial Overrun errors occur when the hardware cannot handle the rate at which data is received.
Alignment errors	Indicates the current number of alignment errors for this port.	Number	Alignment errors occur when a received byte is different from the expected byte.
Buffer overrun errors	Indicates the current number of buffer overrun errors for this port.	Number	Buffer Overrun errors occur when the software cannot handle the rate at which data is received.
