ECE (1 bit) ECN-Echo indicates that the TCP peer is ECN capable if the SYN flag is

set. If the SYN flag is clear, a packet with a Congestion Experienced flag in the IP
header set was received during normal transmission and added to header by RFC
3168.

URG (1 bit) Indicates that the Urgent pointer field is significant

ACK (1 bit) indicates that the Acknowledgment field is significant. All packets after the

initial SYN packet sent by the client should have this flag set.

PSH (1 bit) Push function

RST (1 bit) Reset the connection

SYN (1 bit) Synchronize sequence numbers. Only the first packet sent from each end

should have this flag set. Some other flags change meaning based on this flag. Some
are only valid for when this flag is set, and others when it is clear.

FIN (1 bit) No more data from sender.

This value will be put in the TCP header Control Bits field. It is not used for the UDP

packet. Enter a value from 0 to 255.

19. TCP Window Size This value will be put in the TCP header Window Size field. It is not

used for the UDP packet. Enter a value from 0 to 65535.

20. TCP Urgent Pointer If the URG flag is set, then this 16-bit field is an offset from the

sequence number indicating the last urgent data byte.

21. Edit Packet Data Used to edit the user data contents in the UDP or TCP data field. Up

to 64 bytes are user editable. Your can use ASCII mode to edit printable characters and
binary mode to edit non-printable characters. The first 8 bytes will be displayed on the
screen. Non-printable characters will be displayed as a dot sign. When this command is
issued, the screen will be switched to the User Data Edit screen, where the tool tip
message will tell you how to edit the data.

22. Packet Generation Rate Specify the packet generation rate in either a percentage of the

line rate or in Mega Bits Per Second. In percent of line rate, enter a value from 1 to 99
followed by the % sign. In MBPS:

Enter a value from 1 to 1000, followed by the letter M for the line speed 1 Gig;

Enter a value from 1 to 100, followed by the letter M for the line speed 100M

Enter a value from 1 to 10 followed by the letter M for the line speed 10M.

23. Packet Generation Duration Specify the packet generation duration in either seconds

or total number of packets. If specifying packet generation duration in seconds, enter a
value from 1 to 10, followed by the letter S. If specifying packet generation in total
packets:

Enter a value from 1 to 2000000, followed by the letter P for a speed of 1Gig

Enter a value from 1 to 200000 followed by the letter P for a speed of 100

Enter a value from 1 to 20000 followed by the letter P for a speed of 10M

24. Start Throughput Test Because this is an intrusive test, when this command is issued

the software will ask the user to confirm. If the user answers Yes, the software will verify
the configured parameters first, and then check if any other test (PM, SAM, Latency, L3
