General Options
In the
Packet Simulation Options
property sheet (see
), Under the
General
tab:
•
Run unbounded (infinite wire speed)
.
Enable
Run unbounded (infinite wire speed)
to have data always ready to be received by the
Network Processor and to have the ports always ready to receive data from the Network
Processor.
This makes the simulation act as if data is coming from and going to the network at full
media bus speed, bypassing the receive and transmit buffer and ignoring the data rate and
interpacket gap values set for the port.
If this option is cleared, data is received from and transmitted to the network at the
specified data rate with an interpacket gap.
•
The
Select units for transmit/receive rates
section of the dialog box displays receive and
transmit rate data.
—
Megabits per seconds (Mbps) at the network interface
—this calculation includes extra
bits and bits that would have been processed in an interpacket gap.
—
Megabits per seconds (Mbps) at media Bus
.
—
Frames per second (fps)
