Basic Test Parameters

seconds

Number of seconds between each test test_interval

%

The percentage to randomize the start time of test. Valid values are between 0 and 50 (inclusive). Example: interval of 7200 (2 hours) and random_start_percentage 50 means that a test can start anywhere between 1 hour and 3 hours after the previous test completes random_start_percentage

packets

The number of packets to send per test. This multiplied by packet_interval is the duration of the test packet_count

seconds

The average time between packets. A decimal value less than one means to send multiple packets per second (e.g. .1 means 10 packets per second). This multiplied by packet_count is the duration of the test packet_interval

bytes

The size of packets in bytes packet_size

hops

The TTL to set in the IP header of outgoing packets packet_ttl

Advanced Test Parameters

hostnames / ping -n

suppress_loopback / ping -L

seconds

Specify a timeout, in seconds, before ping exits regardless of how many packets have been sent deadline / ping -w

seconds

Time to wait for a response timeout / ping -W

The type of service to set in the IP header of outgoing packets as an integer from 0-255 tos_bits

Set the IPv6 flow label flow_label / iperf3 -L
