The progress screen may be viewed at any time whilst a test is running and shows
the progress of the current test phase, along with information about the test setup
and SLA. A typical screen is shown below:

Notes:
The information displayed only relates to the current test phase. For RFC2544
throughput and Y.1764 configuration tests, this is likely to be just one of many short
(10s or 3s) tests, so the screen is of limited use.
During the training phase, the screen carries no useful performance figures.
While a test phase is in progress, packets that are in transit (have been sent but not
yet received back) will appear in the
Lost/In-Flight Frames
count. So, it is
normal that this will show a small non-zero number. Providing that this stays fairly
constant, it does not indicate a problem. A corresponding FLR figure will also be
shown. When the test phase ends, both figures should return to zero or, failing that,
give an accurate reflection of the true performance.
