Spirent TestCenter: What are the recommended frame sizes to be used in an RFC 3918 test?

Answer
From RFC 3918, we see that for each of the various 3918 tests, the following is stated:

3.1.3.  Frame Sizes

   Each test SHOULD be run with different multicast frame sizes.  For
   Ethernet, the recommended sizes are 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 1280,
   and 1518 byte frames.

   Other link layer technologies MAY be used.  The minimum and maximum
   frame lengths of the link layer technology in use SHOULD be tested.

   When testing with different frame sizes, the DUT/SUT configuration
   MUST remain the same.
