Frame Loss Configuration
The objective of this test is to find the percentage of frames that are lost
due to lack of resources. Starting at the specified maximum rate (
Max.
Rate ), the test is performed for a specific frame size and for the specified
duration
(Trial Duration)
. The test is repeated by decreasing the rate by
10 percent, then the test is repeated again until there are two successive
trials in which no frames are lost. The test is performed for each defined
frame size.


remote to local (
R->L
) directions.
