1Rate is the raw data rate, excluding the Ethernet framing overhead (preamble and inter-frame gap).

3This gauge shows the Ethernet Utilization for all traffic in the current collision domain. It does not include the minimum inter-frame gap.

Ping Mode

Traffic Generator’s Ping mode allows you to rapidly transmit ICMP Echo Request packet traffic to a specific device or network. The target device can be on the other side of one or more routers. The Network Assistant does not wait for a response before transmitting the next ICMP Echo Request. The ICMP Echo Request sets the don’t fragment bit in the IP header.

XCaution

Using Traffic Generator in Ping mode can generate enough traffic to stress or saturate a 10 MB or 100 Mb Ethernet station. Take care when using Traffic Generator in Ping mode.
