STEP size lowers the frame loss rate percentage. The Source sends
traffic at maximum line rate (100%) and then measures if the network
dropped any frames. If frames are dropped, the values are recorded,
and the test will restart at the next step size down. This test is
repeated until there is no frame loss for three consecutive iterations.
TIME sets the maximum number of frames which can be sent.
START selects the Initial Back-to-Back Test Time (in integer seconds).
This indirectly sets the starting number of frames sent when
performing the Back-to-Back test. The result will always be equal to
or smaller than the maximum number of frames which can be sent in
this time.
NUMBER selects the number of Back-to-Back tests. This is the
number of times the Back-to-Back test is repeated.
