4.7.2.5.3.4 Remote MAC
This is the MAC address used as the destination address within the test packets.
By default it is set to the Metrodata WAN Loopback address.
00:C0:81:FF:00:00
WAN Loopback Address
00:C0:81:FF:00:01
User Port Loopback Address
Where another FCM9002 is not available at the remote end, but another device
is providing the MAC DA/SA swapping function this address may be changed.
4.7.2.5.3.5 Packet Size
The test stream sends a stream of packets of a constant size. The value
configured is the size of the packet, in bytes, including TAGs, and the FCS.
Note, the minimum packet size is set to 68 bytes to ensure that the minimum
packet size when tags are removed does not fall below 64 bytes. In many
switches, tag removal from 64 byte packets will lead to the packet being padded
and thereby effectively growing as it transits the network.
4.7.2.5.3.6 Packet Rate
The transmission rate for the test may be defined by either directly entering the
packet per second rate.
4.7.2.5.3.7 Bandwidth
Where a flow has an SLA configured, the option to set the transmit rate to be a
percentage of the CIR is available to simplify test setup.
4.7.2.5.3.8 Burst Size (Packets)
The Test generator can send traffic as either a constant, evenly spaced traffic
stream or as bursty traffic sending bursts of packets.
1
Constant Rate Traffic
2+
Burst of 2+ packets at a time with the burst spaced such that
the bandwidth/packet rate is adhered to.
