Overview… packet payload

 

In the packets generated for a stream, after the header portion of a packet comes the payload portion, which absorbs any variation in the length of the packets.

 

The content of the payload portion is either a sequence of incrementing bytes or a fixed pattern of bytes that is repeated up through the packet:

You can also specify PRBS payload, which creates a continuously changing pattern from packet to packet.
