Common Stream Control

This area contains port-level controls that affect all streams on that port. They are shown on the streams property page for the sake of convenience.

Traffic Control

The Traffic Control properties are used to control the traffic on the port. The Traffic Status property shows the current traffic status for the port. The Traffic Control button enables you to either start or stop traffic on the port. The Port TX Mode property determines the scheduling mode for outgoing traffic from the port, i.e. how multiple logical streams are merged onto one physical port. The Port Stop After property stops port transmission after the specified number of packets are sent. The Port Burst Period property is the time in micro seconds from the start of sending a group of bursts till the start of sending the next group of bursts.
