Within a test, RPM probes are sent at regular intervals, configured in seconds. When the total number of probes have been sent and the corresponding responses received, the test is complete. You can manually set the probe interval for each test to control how the RPM test is conducted.
After all the probes for a particular test have been sent, the test begins again. The time between tests is the test interval. You can manually set the test interval to tune RPM performance.
You can timestamp the following RPM probes to improve latency or jitter:
Timestamping takes place during the forwarding process of the Services Router originating the probe (the RPM client), but not on the remote router that is the target of the probe (the RPM server).
