Traffic Load

Traffic Groups (Available when Enable Traffic Group Test is selected on the Select Test step.)

Field Description Values Default
Duration Parameters
Min Duration

Enabled when Trial Duration is set to Time

Duration of a trial in minutes

6.4E-05-5184000 6.4E-05
Min Burst

Enabled when Trial Duration is set to Bursts

Duration of a trial in frames

1-16777215 1
Resolution (sec) Enter the smallest possible adjustment (in seconds) for the traffic load from iteration to iteration. If the required adjustment to the current load for the next iteration is less than the resolution, the test stops. This parameter applies only if Trial Duration is set to Seconds. N/A 0.0001
Resolution (frames)

Enter the smallest possible adjustment (in frames) for the traffic load from iteration to iteration. If the required adjustment to the current load for the next iteration is less than the resolution, the test stops. This parameter applies only if Trial Duration is set to Bursts.

N/A 100
Acceptable Frame Loss Enter the maximum percentage of frames that may be lost during an iteration without causing the iteration to fail. Frame loss is the aggregate loss from all traffic flows, averaged across all ports included in the test.

CAUTION: This parameter must be 0 (zero) to run RFC-compliant tests.
