7.1.1.2 Traffic Settings
Traffic tab:
The user configures the traffic profile for the stream, including traffic flow, frame size, frame type, and transmit rate.
Traffic Flow:
Select from the following traffic flows:
Constant - the selected frame is transmitted continuously according to the selected bandwidth %.
Ramp - the selected frame is transmitted at maximum bandwidth according to the selected duty cycle and burst
period.
Burst -the selected frame is transmitted in a stair case profile according to user selectable step time, number of
steps, and maximum bandwidth
Frame Size:
Enter the frame size when a Layer 2 or Layer 3 BERT is selected.
Frame size configuration is not available for Layer 1 BERT.
Frame sizes can be from 64bytes to 1518bytes, in addition to jumbo frames up to 9000 bytes.
BW (Transmit Bandwidth):
Configure the transmit rate for the test.
When traffic flow is equal to Burst, two burst bandwidths are configured with burst time.
When traffic flow is equal to Ramp, starting and an ending bandwidth are configured along with the bandwidth step
size and duration.
BERT Setup - Layer 1 Constant Traffic
