    44== Introduction ==
    5 ORBIT Traffic Generator is a tool to generate traffic for testing network performance.  It is primary focus is to generate bulk data of various characteristics and use either TCP or UCP protocol to transport data.  Also, the properties of each packet such as packet size, packet deliver time are all reported to OML or a local logfile. User can obtain certain measurements like throughput, packet loss by querying the OML database directly. Options to extract physical layer parameters are also availabe.

     18=== List of Options ===
    1919A user could give many command-line arguments to configure the OTG and OTR program. The proper usage of all arguments are described in following tables. Note that as long as there is a default value for the option argument, that option could be omitted. Option could be set in either of following format:
