Configuring link traffic test parameters

You can conifigure these parameters to improve accuracy and to measure link performance on
stress conditions with more traffic.
1. Enter the number of frames to use in the traffic test in the Number of Frames field.
2. Enter the duration you want the test to run in the Duration Hours and Minutes fields.
3. Enter the frame size you want for the traffic test in the Frame Size field.
