In the latter case we can specify which one is -incremented each iteration and which is incremented by "carrying over" -only when the other "wraps around". This way also visits all -combinations once before the "carry" field also wraps around. - -It is possible to use increments other than 1. - -Randomized Ordering -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -This case chooses each field value at random (from the allowed range). -In case of two fields, they are treated independently. -TRex allows to set random seed to get deterministic numbers. -We use a different seed for each field and traffic direction. -The seed has to be a non-zero number, we use 1, 2, 3, and so on. - -The seeded random mode in TRex requires a "limit" value, -which acts as a cycle length limit (after this many iterations, -the seed resets to its initial value). -We use the maximal allowed limit value (computed as 2^24 - 1). - -Randomized profiles do not avoid duplicated values, -and do not guarantee each possible value is visited, -so it is not very useful for stateful tests.
