Method for the dynamic control of the channel use of a transmission channel and a load generator for sending a test sequence

Abstract

A method for the dynamic control of the channel use of a transmission channel as well as a load generator for sending a test sequence generates the test sequence with several test patterns in accordance with a communication protocol to be used for transmission, preferably using a text editor and fixed definitions. A target channel use is defined. Then a predeterminable number of test patterns from the test sequence are sent and actual channel use is determined. Based on actual channel use a number of filler characters or a waiting time are determined for fixing the target channel use. Then the number of characters are sent or the waiting time is implemented until the next set of test patterns are sent. When all the test patterns of the test sequence have been sent, the transmission is terminated.
