In
Ethernet Reflector
mode the Network Master loops incoming traffic on a port
swapping MAC and/or IP addresses.
HDX (Half Duplex) is not possible in 'Reflector' mode.
Multicast or Broadcast frame are not reflected in 'Reflector' mode.
The IFG (interframe gap) of Ethernet stream output from the Network Master becomes
variable because processing such as packets takes a time when reflecting Ethernet
frames.
For streams relatively high frame rates, this may cause inserting gaps of less than 12
bytes.
