Both ports must be activated in order to perform the Switch/Router test.
You cannot select 'Throughput and Frame Loss' and 'Throughput' / 'Frame Loss' at the
same time.
In this test mode, the latency-test sends out ping frames, used for measuring the
response time for router equipment. The maximum line load for the Router
Latency Test is 1 Mbps.
The Network Master is capable of responding to incoming ping frames, and can
thus be used to run the Router Latency Test port to port, if required.
When the instrument is used to reply to incoming ping frames, the settings of the
Encapsulation type and VLAN/no VLAN in port traffic setup will decide which ping
requests to answer. So do VLAN ID and Address setups.
The Router Latency Test works with both IPv4/ICMPv4 and IPv6/ICMPv6.

Latency test
In this test mode, two Network Masters will work together performing an RFC
2544 test. The Network Master which users actually operate to perform
RFC2544 test is the
Local
and the other Network Master which sends and
receives Ethernet frames via the network under test is the
Remote
.
After starting RFC2544 test, the 'local' Network Master tries to control the
'remote' Network Master via the network under test. To control the 'remote'
Network Master, 'local' Network Master starts communication using Dest. MAC
address and Dest. IP address set on the Stream screen. Therefore, destination
addresses of the 'local' Network Master and source addresses of the 'remote'
Network Master should be set to the same. Also, enable Accept Network MasterAccept Network Master
Configuration framesConfiguration frames option on Incoming Frames tab of the Setting screen on
the 'remote' Network Master.
The required setup to perform RFC 2544 test is transferred from the 'local'
Network Master to the 'remote' Network Master when the test is started.
