| You can specify the packet size (excluding the link-layer header) using the ''%%--mtu%%'' option. If no packet size is specified, then the default Ethernet size of 1500 bytes will be used. | You can specify the packet size (excluding the link-layer header) using the ''%%--mtu%%'' option.

| The test will continue until it is interrupted (e.g. by pressing ''Ctrl-C'') or until a packet is received incorrectly. The number of packets successfully received will be displayed as a running total during the test. | The test will continue until it is interrupted (e.g. by pressing ''Ctrl-C'') or until a packet is received incorrectly.

| Some drivers that pass a loopback test may use an MTU that is too small to support VLANs. These can be identified by creating a VLAN interface on each end, and then performing the loopback test over the VLAN interfaces.
