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".)
