Common Options

  • Duration

    The duration in seconds of the time used in each trial for the actual measurement. This does not include the test setup and teardown phases so the total duration of a test will be longer.

  • Iterations

    The number of times a test is repeated using the same set of variable parameters (packet size, rate, etc.)

Multicast Group Count Selection

  • Count List

    A comma-separated list of the multicast group counts to use for each iteration.

  • Count Range

    An incrementing list from start to end with the specified step size.

Delay Settings

  • Join-to-Traffic Delay

    The number of seconds to wait between sending the Join requests on the destination ports and starting the multicast traffic on the source port.

Rate Settings

  • Initial Rate

    If present this option denotes the initial rate in percent of the overall rate configured in the Multicast Stream panel.

  • Maximum Rate

    If present this option denotes the maximum rate in percent of the overall rate configured in the Multicast Stream panel.

  • Minimum Rate

    If present this option denotes the minimum rate in percent of the overall rate configured in the Multicast Stream panel.

  • Resolution

    If present this option denotes a minimum difference between rates which will be used to stop the iteration.
