Supports auto distributing the start time and the test interval when several tests are
performed at a time.
Supports the auto-delay function, with which the system resources can be effectively
utilized so that tests can be completed within a specified period.
Supports the collection of the uni-directional delay statistics and bi-directional delay
statistics. In addition, you can set a threshold and enable collecting statistics about the
packets in the test results that exceed the threshold.
Supports the collection of statistics on packet loss in one direction.
Supports the flexible alarm mechanism. That is, the upper and lower thresholds are set to
monitor the feature of the tested objects according to their OIDs. When the test result
exceeds the threshold, alarms are triggered based on the preset events.
Data
Administrator name and test name of the NQA test
Destination IP address
(Optional) Virtual Private Network (VPN) instance name, source interface that sends
