Used in: packet-publisher.
The burst-mode element is used to control the rate at which the Packet publisher will transmit packets on the network, by specif icing the maximum number of packets to transmit without pausing.
The following table describes the elements you can define within the burst-mode element.
| Element | Required/Optional | Description |
|---|---|---|
| <maximum-packets> | Required | Specifies the maximum number of packets that the packet publisher will send in a row without pausing. Zero indicates no limit. By setting this value relatively low, the publisher is forced to pause when sending a large number of packets, which may reduce collisions in some instances or allow incoming traffic to be more quickly processed. Default value is 1024. |
| <pause-milliseconds> | Required | Specifies the minimum number of milliseconds that the Publisher will pause between long bursts of packets. By increasing this value, the packet publisher is forced to pause longer when sending a large number of packets, which may reduce collisions in some instances or allow incoming traffic to be more quickly processed. Default value is 4. |
