Model WS-C3850-24S-E of the system were shipped to and tested at Miercoms main New Jersey lab in late 2014. The testing focused on the ability of the switch to handle high data volumes with minimal loss and low latency. Key high-availability features were also exercised and assessed. The system was tested for throughput, latency, delay variance and stack convergence. All the performance testing was conducted in accordance with IETF standard RFCs 2544, 2889, and 3918. In most tests data was delivered to and from the Catalyst via Gigabit/s fiber (SFP) connections. A full ring topology was used for convergence testing in the stacked configuration (see How We Tested details). Key Fi
