When this option is enabled, the RFC 2544 test will send out a number of
'learning frames' before the first test-step starts on each port. This happens to
train network equipment, so that initial latency results will not be invalid.
In One-Way test, transmit frames fromIn One-Way test, transmit frames from
This parameter defines the direction of the frames when transmitted during an
End to End test with the One-Way setting enabled. Available directions are:
LocalLocal: The 'local' Network Master sends Ethernet frames to the 'remote'
Network Master.
The 'remote' Network Master measures the received frames.
RemoteRemote: The 'remote' Network Master sends Ethernet frames to the 'local'
Network Master.
The 'local' Network Master measures the received frames.
Use local source addresses for destination on remote sideUse local source addresses for destination on remote side
When this function is enabled, the Network Master does not use the IP or MAC
addresses for differentiating frames during the RFC 2544 test. An exception is
End to End test control, but routing equipment in the network may need the
addresses to be set up correctly. To limit the amount of needed setups on the
Remote side, this setting can be enabled to transfer the source address setup
from the Local using it as destination on the Remote. However, the source
addresses must still be correctly setup on the remote in order to make the End
to End test work.
