Shaping Configuration
³ Ramp Nb. of Steps: Enter the number of steps in the ramp pattern. The
accepted range is from 2 to 100. The default value is 10. The Ramp Nb.
of Steps parameter is available only when the Ramp shaping mode is
selected in the Shaping field.
Step Time: Enter the duration of each step that constitutes the ramp.
The accepted range is from 1ms to 8000 ms. The default value is
1000 ms.
³ TX Rate: Set the transmission rate in terms of a percentage of the line
rate or in Mbps. When the traffic shaping is Constant, the TX Rate
parameter determines the transmission rate in terms of a percentage
of the line rate or in Mbps. When the traffic shaping is Ramp or Burst,
the TX Rate parameter is calculated and represents the average
transmission rate.
³ Max. TX Rate: Determine the maximum transmit rate for Burst or
Ramp shaping mode.
³ Total TX Rate: The Total TX Rate presents the sum of the transmit rate
of all streams enabled for transmission.
