"Loss Distance" measures the difference in sequence
numbers of two loss events, with a "loss event" being the
loss of one or more packets in a row. So for the following
stream (1 x 3 4 5 x x 8 9 10) the loss distance between the
two events is 4. If the loss distance is less than the config-
ured threshold, then the "Loss Distance Error" statistic will
increment.
3 Press the 2 key to set the Loss Period threshold, in
number of packets. Enter a number between 1 and 1000.
"Loss period" is the length of a single loss event, that is,
the number of lost packets between two successfully
received packets. So for the following example stream
(1 x x x 5 6 7 x x 10 x 12), there are three loss periods,
with lengths of 3, 2, and 1.
4 Press the 3 key to set the Packet Gap, in milliseconds.
Enter a number between 10 and 10000.
The packet gap is the time interval between subsequent
packets in a video stream. When the packet gap exceeds
the threshold set here, the "Gap Errors" statistics will
increment.
The video loss settings are specified.
IEEE 802.1x offers a framework for authenticating and
controlling user traffic on a protected (secured) wireless
network. Authentication involves a supplicant (a client device)
attempting to connect with an authenticator (the 802.11
access point), using a certificate. The access point (authenti-
cator) blocks all other traffic until it can verify the client's iden-
tity. After authenticated, the access point opens the client's
port for other types of traffic, and the user can log into the
network. For this authentication, the HST acts as a supplicant.
