Transmitting a
constant load
With a constant load, the HST-3000 transmits frames contin-
uously with a fixed bandwidth utilization. You can specify the
load as a percent or a bit rate. See Figure 21.
When you setup a constant traffic load, you can specify the
bandwidth as a percentage of the line rate or as a bit rate in
Mbps.
To transmit a constant load of traffic
1 If you haven’t already done so, launch your application
(see “Launching an application” on page 28), and then
select your test (see the appropriate procedure below):
– “Selecting a layer 2 test” on page 46
– “Selecting a layer 3 IP test” on page 120
– “Selecting a layer 4 TCP/UDP test” on page 165
2 Press the Configure navigation key.
A configuration menu appears.
3 Use the left and right arrow keys to go to the Traffic
configuration menu.
