Defining the Number of Back-to-Back Packets to Transmit

The pace_size parameter (see Table C–6) defines the maximum number of back-to-back packets you can transmit at one time. If the value is zero, there is no limit to the number of back-to-back packets that can be transmitted.

Reporting Transceiver Capabilities

Table C–7 describes the read-only transceiver capabilities. These parameters define the capabilities of the hardware. The internal transceiver can support all of these capabilities.
