Graph
Unit
: Select the result unit. Choices are:
Layer/Displayed Step/Mode
Layer (Throughput and Back-to-Back)
: Select the Layer that will be
used to compute the results. Choices are
Layer 1,2,3
,
Layer 2,3
and
Layer 3
. The default setting is
Layer 1,2,3
.
Layer 1,2,3
contains the Idle, Preamble, Start of Frame Delimiter,
MAC address, IP address, and data.
Layer 2,3
contains the MAC layer, IP layer, and data.
Layer 3
contains the IP layer, and data.
Displayed Step (Frame Loss only)
: Select the percentage of the
speed used for the test. Choices are
100%
(or % of the maximum
speed) to
0%
with increment set by the
Test Granularity
from the RFC
2544 Frame Loss tab. The default setting is
100%
(or % of the
maximum speed). This is only available once the Frame Loss test is
started.
Mode (Latency test only)
: Select the propagation time mode. The
default setting is
Store and Forward
. Choices are:
Cut Through (Bit Latency)
: Cut Through allows the calculation of
the propagation time of a bit.
Store and Forward (Frame Latency)
: Store and Forward allows
the calculation of the propagation time of a frame.
