Graph
Unit: Select the result unit. Choices are:
Layer/Displayed Step/Mode
Layer (Throughput and Back-to-Back): Select the Layer that will be
used to compute the results. Choices are Layer 1,2,3, Layer 2,3 and
Layer 3. The default setting is Layer 1,2,3.
Layer 1,2,3 contains the Idle, Preamble, Start of Frame Delimiter,
MAC address, IP address, and data.
Layer 2,3 contains the MAC layer, IP layer, and data.
Layer 3 contains the IP layer, and data.
Displayed Step (Frame Loss only): Select the percentage of the
speed used for the test. Choices are 100% (or % of the maximum
speed) to 0% with increment set by the Test Granularity from the RFC
2544 Frame Loss tab. The default setting is 100% (or % of the
maximum speed). This is only available once the Frame Loss test is
started.
Mode (Latency test only): Select the propagation time mode. The
default setting is Store and Forward. Choices are:
Cut Through (Bit Latency): Cut Through allows the calculation of
the propagation time of a bit.
Store and Forward (Frame Latency): Store and Forward allows
the calculation of the propagation time of a frame.
