UDP Stream: Configure - Opens the UDP Stream Setup dialog box. From this dialog box, you can
modify the Client/Server Packet Size, specify the UDP packet Timeout, and adjust the packet
Averaging Interval. The UDP Stream protocol is a set of rules that the client and server follow to
exchange UDP data packets across the network. This protocol is designed to simulate Voice Over IP
or real time video streaming applications. When running the UDP Stream protocol the client has the
ability to detect important statistics that affect the quality of service for these types of applications.
Among these statistics are round trip time, jitter, and the packet loss rate.
●
The packet size settings that you can change are the packet size that the client sends to the server
(Client Packet Size) and the packet size that the server sends back to the client (Server Packet Size.)
The packet size is the number of bytes of raw data in every packet that is sent. By selecting one of
these options from the Packet Size drop-down list you can set the amount of data sent in the
payload of a test packet.
●
Timeout is the number of milliseconds that the client will wait for a response from the server before
it assumes that a sent packet has been lost. The Averaging Interval alters how long a client will
average network statistics before sending results to the server.
TCP Flood: Configure - The TCP Flood protocol is designed to determine the maximum available
bandwidth. For this reason it has no user configurable settings. Once this protocol is started, the
server will send as much data to the client in as short a time as possible. Throughput is the only
statistic calculated by this test.
Data Rows.
Displays recorded information for:
●
Network ID - The network ID of the wireless access point that the WLAN card is currently associated
with.
●
Throughput - Amount of data passed from the client to a server per unit time.
