IxN2X Traffic: How to see packet loss on Realtime Results

        

          In order to see traffic loss on  the traffic you will need to  perform the following steps:

1.    Make sure that Rx Packet loss statistics is added to  Results table

2.    Add the stream for which you want to see the loss to  Results table.

Let’s consider the following test:

You have 2 ports back to back and you send traffic from the  port 102/1 to port 102/2.

Step1. Add Rx Packet Loss  statistics to  Results  table

Open the Results Realtime window by clicking on Setup panel on Result Realtime button

The Result – Realtime window will open

 

On Result-Realtime window click on Setup button.

On the Measurements tab search for Rx Packet Loss entry and  check the box corresponding to table entry :

In this moment the Rx Packet Loss statistics are added to the table but by starting traffic you will see N/A displayed next to it.

By default only per port statistics are added to Results table. 

****You can check the type of statistics from Results-Realtime Setup Measurements tab.

      For example Tx Test packets are per port and per stream statistics:

On Result-Realtime window click on Setup and go to Streams tab

Right-click on the stream and chose to add it to the measurements table:

A new entry will appear on the Result window reflecting the newly added stream:

Start traffic and observe that Rx Packet loss show a numeric value for the particular  stream:
