Description You can pad HWPing test packets with any character string. If the size of a test packet
is smaller than that of the configured padding string, only a portion of the data is
used. If the size of the packet is larger, the string is used cyclically for padding.
Suppose a padding string, “abcd” is configured. If the test packet size is 3, only
“abc” is used; if it is 6, the string “abcdab" is used.
