  2. Ping: The target receives an ICMP echo request.
  3. UDPs (UDP server): The target receives UDP frames from the test station at a specified bandwidth.
  4. UDPc (UDP client): The target transmits UDP frames to the test station computer at the highest possible bandwidth achievable by the target.
  5. TCPs (TCP server): The target receives TCP frames from the test station computer.
  6. TCPc (TCP client): The target transmits TCP frames to the test station computer.
  7. Multicast: The test station computer sends multicast packets to the target.
  8. General Options: Common parameters for all the tests.

(3) Test results table: Each tab has its own test results table that displays the input information and the output results for each test ,along with the date and time at which that test was executed. When the NDIT is launched, it loads the test results logs from previous tests and displays them in the test results table.

(4) Tests and test options: This section contains the different tests and test options that can be performed from the selected tab.

In addition to the options specified in the current test tab, there is another set of options located in the General Option tab. These options, like test duration and target IP address, are common to more than one test.

(5) Cancel button: When an iterative or a parameter sweep test is launched, it can be cancelled by clicking the Cancel button. The current test will finish and the results will be displayed in the test result table.

(6) Exit button: Upon clicking the Exit button, the test results will be saved, and connections, if any, will be closed with the target.
