In order to run this test the aging time, that is the maximum time the DUT will keep a learned address in its flow table, and a set of initial addresses, whose value should be >= 1 and <= the max number supported by the implementation must be known. Please note that if the aging time is configurable it must be longer than the time necessary to produce frames from the external source at the specified rate. If the aging time is fixed the frame rate must be brought down to a value that the external source can produce in a time that is less than the aging time. @@ -842,7 +842,7 @@ The following represents possible deployments which can help to determine the pe **Description**: - The aim of this test is to determine the rate of address learning of the DUT for a constant load (fixed length frames at a fixed interval time).
