5 If you indicated that you want to specify a frame length
when you configure your traffic (as opposed to a packet
length), in Frame Length, select one of the pre-defined
lengths, or specify a User Defined length in bytes.
6 If you need to specify other settings for the test, use the
left and right arrow keys to go to the appropriate configu-
ration menu; otherwise, press the Home key to return to
the Summary Results screen.
The frame settings are specified.
If you selected the Layer 3 IP Traffic or Layer 4 Traffic test,
before you transmit traffic you can specify the packet charac-
teristics of the traffic, such as the destination IP address and
packet payload.
– If you indicated that you want to specify a packet length
for transmitted traffic, you also specify the length on the IP
configuration menu.

Parameters
– Select Unicast to send traffic
to a single destination
address and network device.
– Select Multicast to send traf-
fic with a multicast address
to a group of network
devices.
Indicate whether MPLS traffic
will carry one or two labels.

work will use to route the traffic),
priority, and TTL (time to live).
Be certain to specify labels that
have already been instantiated
by routers on the network.
