The Ethernet measurement mode (Optional Purchase Required) allows you to analyze the internet protocol (IP) performance through the Ethernet. To perform and display Ethernet measurement data the following tests are provided:

IP Info test

Displays IP information. (See the Help section entitled "Interpreting IP Info".)

Throughput test

Displays throughput (upstream and downstream) test results. (See the Help section entitled "Interpreting Throughput Results".)

Packet Loss test

Displays packet loss (round trip) test results. (See the Help section entitled "Interpreting Packet Loss Results".)

Ping test

Ping test verifies the overall downstream/upstream communication route and connectivity of a DSAM within the Ethernet system. The ping test allows you to select the IP address, packet size, and time between pings and displays ping test result data that includes; round trip time, time-to-live (TTL), packets sent and lost, average round trip time, and loss to sent ratio. (See the Help section entitled "Interpreting Pinging Results".)
