For each frame size previously defined under [Default Test Parameters](#DefaultParams), a burst of traffic is sent to the DUT with the minimum inter-frame gap between each frame. If the number of received frames equals the number of frames that were transmitted, the burst size should be increased and traffic is sent to the DUT again. The value measured is the back-to-back value, that is the maximum burst size the DUT can handle without any frame loss. + + **Expected Result**: + + Tests of back-to-back frames with physical devices have produced unstable results in some cases.
