DTI Frame/Delay Sequence Using Inject Forever

3.25.3.5 Burst Size Test Using DTI Concatenation

Two (or more) DTIs can be concatenated, such that when one DTI completes, another DTI is activated.

This is depicted in the following illustration. It can be used for leaky bucket burst size testing, where the

first part of the sequence empties the bucket, followed by a steady frame flow with the rate of the leaky

bucket.

Note that when DTI concatenation is used, the last delay entry in the frame-delay sequence of the first

DTI is not awaited before starting the next DTI. That is, the next DTI is started when the first DTI reads an

entry with NEXT_PTR = 0. As shown in the illustration, the delay between the last Frame A and the first

Frame B will not be 150 clock cycles, but instead approximately 12 clock cycles. If this is considered

problematic, it can be addressed by using an additional DTI with a sequence consisting only of two delay

entries. For example, DTI #2 could be inserted between DTI#1, and DTI#3 and DTI#2 could then be

configured with a sequence consisting of two delay entries, with the first having delay = 150.
