Defining the Number of Back-to-Back Packets To Transmit
The pace_size parameter (see Table 3-6) 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 3-7 describes the read-only transceiver capabilities (either the internal
transceiver or the external transceiver), whichever is selected.
