CyberFlood: What are the default and maximum load values for each test type and port speed?
The following table indicates the default and maximum load values, as well as how they are derived, for each test type and port speed.
NOTE: Where "Maximum Port Speed" is indicated without a formula, it simply means that a device with 40 Gbps ports has a max load value of 40 Gbps for those ports, 1 Gbps ports’ max load value is 1 Gbps, and so on.
