Frame Loss Configuration
Frame Loss Configuration
The objective of this test is to find the percentage of frames that are lost
due to lack of resources. Starting at full media speed, the test is performed
for a specific frame size and for the specified duration (Test Time). The test
is repeated by decreasing the throughput by the specified granularity (Test
granularity), then the test is repeated again until there are two successive
trials in which no frames are lost. The test performs the defined number of
trials (Nb of trials to average). At the end, the results are validated the
number of times specified (Final result validation). The test is performed
for each defined frame size.

Note: Frame Loss must be enabled from Global Configuration on page 252.
Configuration

Test Time (MM:SS): Select the test time value. Possible values are 1
second to 30 minutes. The default setting is 1 second (00:01).

Test Granularity (%): Select the test granularity. The test granularity is
the percentage interval between each throughput value used for the
test. For example, 10% granularity means that the test will be
performed for 100%, 90%, 80%... of the throughput value. Choices are 1
to 10% (RFC). The default setting is 10%.
