20. TCP Window

(16 bits) (

0 ~ 65535): 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.

21. TCP Urgent Pointer

(16 bits) (

0 ~ 65535): if the URG flag is set, then this 16-bit field is

an offset from the sequence number indicating the last urgent data byte.

22. Edit Packet Data: This is used to edit the user data contents in the UDP or TCP data

field. Up to 64 bytes are user editable. The user 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.

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

the line rate or in Mega Bits Per Second. In % 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.

24. 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

4.7.2 Perform Throughput Test

1. 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
Ping, L2 Ping, Loopback, OAM Loopback) is in progress. If there are no configuration
errors and no other tests are in progress, the software will initiate the Throughput Test
and display the test results once the test is done.

2. Show Last Test Result: This command allows the user to see the last test results or the

test currently in progress.
