Bias-Free Language

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Exact PCAP Analyze

Exact PCAP analyze (exact-pcap-analyze) is a tool used to analyze .pcap files and derive a number of statistics concerning a given capture. It will determine the total length of the capture (in nanoseconds, microseconds and seconds), the average packet rate (in pps, packets per second), the minimum/maximum inter-frame gaps (IFGs) and the throughput rate (in gigabits per second).

The following table lists all commands available:

Short	Long	Default	Description
i	input	(required)	The input `.pcap` file to analyze.
f	format	(required)	The input file format. Valid values are `pcap` or `expcap`.
r	line-rate	(required)	The line rate of traffic in the input capture. This value is in Gbps, e.g. 10 = 10Gb/s.
o	offset	0	Start analyzing packets from this packet offset into the input file.
m	max	-1 (no limit)	Limit the number of packets to analyze.
w	window	100	Analyze packets within this window. Analysis occurs each time this window is exceeded in the input capture.
