Environment/Versions
Spirent Test Center GUI
Answer

It depends on the the frame size , Stream rate and drop count filed in Advance sequencer tab.

This is how that drop count calculates for 128 byte frame (148 Bytes since there are 20 Bytes of preamble/SFD):

  • Drop Count * 148 Bytes * 8 bits = Number of  bits lost
  • Number of bits lost / stream rate = Drop Duration
