Iteration

Each test-type can be configured to repeat the test runs associated with the test-type a number of times. Each of these additional runs is called an iteration.

Run

Run A “test run” (or simply “run”) denotes the part of the test configuration that is associated with a single test-type and a single packet size. This concept is used for the purpose of progress reporting. A test configuration that specifies the use of e.g. 5 packet sizes and has enabled 3 of the possible 4 test-types will thus consist of 5*3 = 15 runs.

TPLD

Test payload

Trial

A “trial” denotes a single execution of an iteration.
