4 OCNADD Benchmarking Testing

This section describes the performance testing scenarios and results for the Message Feed functionality provided by Oracle Communications Network Analytics Data Director. The message feed feature is tested with SCP, NRF, and SEPP as the source of the message feed. The performance benchmarking test is performed on OCNADD with 54K MPS feed which includes 30K MPS SCP traffic (15K TPS with 2 trigger points), 9K MPS NRF traffic (4.5K TPS with 2 trigger points) and 15K MPS SEPP traffic (7.5K TPS with 2 trigger points). The benchmarking results are provided in the subsequent sections of this chapter.

Benchmark Test Environment

The test environment specifications are listed below:
  • Call Rate: 54K MPS
  • The latency, resource utilization, and MPS is observed for the period of 12 hrs or more.

Benchmark Testcase Specifications

The testcase parameters are as follows:
  • OCNADD
    • A feed is configured using the OCNADD Console with aggregation rules set for SCP, NRF and SEPP.
    • Message Ingestion Rate: 54K MPS
