Defining the Number of Back-to-Back Packets to
Transmit

The

pace_size

parameter (see

TABLE B-6

) defines the maximum number of back-to-

back packets you can transmit at one time. If the value is zero, there is no limit to the
number of back-to-back packets that can be transmitted.

Reporting Transceiver Capabilities

TABLE B-7

describes the read-only transceiver capabilities. These parameters define

the capabilities of the hardware. The internal transceiver can support all of these
capabilities.
