Setup information : 2 ports connected back to back Port1 IP=1.1.1.1 Port2 IP=1.1.1.2 Send traffic from Port1 to Port2 and check latency/jitter. Step1.  Enable Latency and Jitter measurements for the test In order to measure jitter you will need to enable  Latency and Delay Variation statistics measurements from traffic options. Go to  Test Options  (main ribbon) - Traffic Options  and enable  Latency and Delay Variation There are some restrictions regarding which set of statistics can work together, please check the bellow compatibility table Step2. Configure the ports   Step3. Create a Traffic Item On flow tracking page make sure that you enable Latency  Bin measurements and flow tracking. Since the latency variation is a perFlow statistics enable some sort of  flow tracking. I’ve chosen Flow tracking based on Traffic Item ...
