During the 10 Gbit/s rate state, transmitted streams the traffic generator sends can't be
captured.
Transmitted protocol frames can be captured. 'Protocol frames' are the frames which
used for information such as ARP, SyncE, IEEE1588v2, OAM.
This is the same for 10GbE over OTN (OTU2e - 10GbE mapping).
