Frame Loss tab:
Max Rate:
Up to 100% of the negotiated line rate. The default value is 100%.
This is the maximum transmit rate to perform the frame loss test for each test frame size. The user may configure this rate
as a % of the total line rate or in Mbps. For example if the user configures the Max Rate to be 90% and the negotiated line
rate of the link is 100Mbps, then the maximum transmit rate will be 90Mbps or 90% of the line rate.
Step Size:
1 to 10%. The default value is 10%.
The step size is the rate % that the frame loss test will be reduced by in the event of any frame loss. For example if the
Max Rate is 100Mbps (or 100%) and frames are lost at this rate, then the transmit rate will be reduced to 90Mbps (or 90%).
The frame loss test will now be performed at the new rate until there is zero frame loss at two consecutive rate settings.
This means that the test will have to be performed at 80% (assuming that there was zero frame loss at 90%).
Duration:
Selectable in the range 5 to 999 seconds. The default value is 20 seconds.
The duration is the amount of time the throughput test is run for, for each frame size at a given rate
