The values on the Diameter NAS Auth tab report the processing measurements for authentication transactions when the Diameter protocol is used in AAA Server Nodal and AAA Server Node test cases.
In the default view, the Reports tab displays the Summary view, which summarizes the measurements for the test session. If your test includes multiple test cases, you can view the report for a single test case by changing the report view...
Unless otherwise noted, cumulative values report the number of occurrences or rates calculated since the start of the test, and per-interval values report the number of occurrences or rates calculated during the interval. You can view either by changing the measurement values...
Elapsed Time is the first measurement on every tab. It reports the amount of time between the start of the test and the end of the report interval.
Test Iteration reports the current iteration in a repeating test session. It is only displayed when a Number of Iterations is defined for the test session.
The following measurements record the number and types of authentication and session management messages sent by the NAS node and received from all AAA SUTs.
AA Requests Sent
AA Answers Received
AA Request Timeouts
Minimum AA Response Time
Maximum AA Response Time

Maximum Session Term Response Time
Session Term Response Count
Session Term Requests Sent — The number of session termination request messages sent.
Session Term Requests Received — The number of session termination request messages received.
Session Term Answer Received — The number of session termination answer messages received.
Session Term Answers Sent — The number of session termination answer messages sent.
Abort Session Requests Sent — The number of abort session request messages sent.
Abort Session Requests Received — The number of abort session request messages received.
Abort Session Answers Sent — The number of abort session answer messages sent.
Abort Session Answers Received — The number of abort session answer messages received.
EAP Stop (Sessions stopped by EAP)

Minimum DER Response Time
Maximum DER Response Time
DER Response Count
DEA (Diameter EAP Success Answer) Received
DEA (Diameter EAP Multiround Answer) Received
The following measurements report the number of transaction failures by cause, including errors returned from a SUT by Result Code.
NOTE: If a timeout occurs — when the Wait Response Time expires — no attempt is made to re-transmit the request. |
AA Request Timeouts — The number of times an AAR was sent without receiving an AAA from the SUT.
Session Termination Request Timeouts — The number of times an STR was sent without receiving an STA from the SUT.
Poorly Formed Authentication Message Received — The number of authentication transactions that failed because the SUT's answer message could not be parsed.
Authentication Failed — The number of authentication transactions that failed due to a specific error returned by the SUT.
Send Error — The number of times TCP was temporarily unable to transport a message.
Transport Connection Failed — The number of times a message could not be sent because the TCP connection with the SUT failed.
DER (Diameter EAP Request) Timeout — The number of times a DER was sent without receiving a DEA from the SUT.
Average AA Response Time — The average time required to receive an AAA from a SUT, measured from the time an AAR is sent.
Average Session Termination Response Time — The average time required to receive an STA from a SUT, measured from the time an STR is sent.
Average DER (Diameter EAP Request) Response Time— The average time required to receive a DEA (Diameter EAP Answer) from a SUT, measured from the time a DER is sent.
