Specifying the Overhead Calculation Frame Size

The following procedures give the steps needed to specify the frame size for a demand.

  1. Navigate to Network > Elements > Demands. In the Demands window, double-click a demand, or select a demand from the table and press the Modify > Selected button. The Modify Demand window will appear.

  2. In the Modify Demand window, press the Type button to open up the Demand Type Parameter Generation window.

  3. In the Demand Type window, specify a number for the Frame Size. The unit is in bytes. Then, click OK.

  4. For instance, by typing 256 in the Frame Size box and open up the demand file, you would see BF256 added to the type field for a demand:
