Transmitter - IP Measurements

When Measurements is selected from the Navigation window, the Measurements menu is displayed. If a transmitter icon is clicked, the Transmitter Measurements menu is displayed. This menu, as shown in Figure 2-8, provides summary results of the transmitted HDLC Frames and the IP Packets transmitted and transmitted with errors.

NOTE: Traffic has to be started to get statistics.

Figure 2-8: Transmitter IP Measurements display

In the Transmitter IP Packets section, Packets with errors is the total of the errors for the IP header checksum and payload. Only one error type may be inserted at a time.

The Good IP Packets count is performed prior to FCS computation. Introducing FCS errors results in a mismatch between the transmitter and receiver IP Good packets results. This is due to the fact that the receiver does not process IP datagrams with incorrect FCS.
