2544 benchmark tests.

RFC Tests - Back-To-Back Burst Test (B2B Burst)
This is an RFC 2544 benchmark test. Back-to-Back Burst test is used to determine the
buffering capability of the Device Under Test (DUT). This is done by sending a burst of
frames to the unit, and then counting how many frames are forwarded by the unit.
During the test a burst of fixed length frames with the minimum inter-frame gap between
them is sent through the packet stream. The trial duration must be between 2 and 10
seconds. The RFC standard recommends (but does not required) that this trial should
be repeated at least 50 times with the average value reported.
If the unit successfully transmits all the frames that it receives, the frame burst size is
increased and the test is repeated. If this stage of the test fails, the frame burst size is
halved and the test is repeated until the unit successfully transmits the frame burst. The
default frame burst sizes used are 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 1280, and 1518 bytes.
by transmitted frames.
Allows the user to scroll through packet sizes to view their
test results.
Starts and stops the Frame Loss test. The button toggles
between Start (when a test is not running) and Stop (when a
test is running).
