be configured for an extended ARP timeout.

C.2.4.2 Routing Update Frame
If the test does not involve adjacent net routing the tester
must supply proper routing information using a routing update.
A single routing update is used before each trial on each
"destination" port (see section C.24). This update includes
the network addresses that are reachable through a phantom
router on the network attached to the port. For a full mesh
test, one destination network address is present in the routing
update for each of the "input" ports. The test stream on each
"input" port consists of a repeating sequence of frames, one to
each of the "output" ports.
C.2.4.3 Management Query Frame
The management overhead test uses SNMP to query a set of
variables that should be present in all DUTs that support SNMP.
The variables for a single interface only are read by an NMS
at the appropriate intervals. The list of variables to
retrieve follow:
sysUpTime
ifInOctets
ifOutOctets
ifInUcastPkts
ifOutUcastPkts
C.2.4.4 Test Frames
The test frame is an UDP Echo Request with enough data to fill
out the required frame size. The data should not be all bits
off or all bits on since these patters can cause a "bit
stuffing" process to be used to maintain clock synchronization
on WAN links. This process will result in a longer frame than
was intended.
C.2.4.5 Frame Formats - TCP/IP on Ethernet
Each of the frames below are described for the 1st pair of DUT
ports, i.e. "input" port #1 and "output" port #1. Addresses
must be changed if the frame is to be used for other ports.
