Line Load (Mbps)Line Load (Mbps)
When selecting FlexibleFlexible, one result is displayed for one frame length. If multiple frame
sizes whose value is same are set, the measured results of them are merged and
displayed in one result.
Frame size is protocol headers and payload combined. Frame size does not include
preamble and interframe gap.
StepStep
Specify the approximate duration in time of each step of the test. It can be set
to a number of seconds (minimum 3 seconds).
RepeatsRepeats
Specify the number of times the complete test will repeat. Valid range: 0 to
1000.
The different test line loads used in the test are specified as a Minimum (MinMin)
and Maximum (MaxMax) - varied in intervals of the value specified in the StepStep
field. The test always starts at Maximum line load and decreases until the line
load is less than Minimum. The results can be presented in either MbpsMbps or as
PercentPercent.
Valid range of MinMin, MaxMax, StepStep depends on the unit and Ethernet interface.

The test will continue to test the next frame size if the current test step at a
specific line load and frame size does not have any frames lost.
Auto searchAuto search
Allows you to let the test automatically find the maximum line load that gives
zero frame loss, using a specified resolution. Auto Search can run in one of the
two following modes:
SmartSmart that assumes that there is a higher probability of frame loss occurring
closer to MaxMax, and therefore makes a skewed binary search searching the
higher line loads first.
BinaryBinary that will perform a binary search of the specified line load interval
from MaxMax to MinMin.
The ResolutionResolution field lets you specify the precision of the auto search. A higher
precision extends the duration of the test. Available resolutions are: 0.1%0.1%, 1.0%1.0%
and 10.0%10.0%.
The check boxes are enabled except when selecting End to End network testEnd to End network test on Control
screen.
