# quick > RouterOS command reference for /tool/traffic-generator/quick. ----------- ## tool/traffic-generator/quick **Type:** Command Starts the traffic generator, prints the statistics to the terminal and assembles the latency/jitter report. Parameters override the values configured in the stream and the packet template; if a parameter specifies only one header, the value is multiplied for the other headers. How many status lines to print to the terminal. Test session ID (see the general traffic-generator menu). Whether out-of-order received packets are measured and reported for this test. CPU core or range of cores (0-255) the streams are pinned to, for multi-core tests. Names of the streams to start. Ports to start transmitting from. Interfaces to start transmitting from; a port is implied for each. Stream IDs to start. Override the generated packet size (in bytes); a range generates random sizes. Override the packets-per-second rate. Override the megabits-per-second rate. Override the packet templates used as the packet content source (up to 16). Override the number of packets to transmit. Measurement sequence number, or TOT for totals. Stream ID, or TOT for totals across streams. Total packets transmitted. Current transmit rate in bps. Total packets received. Current receive rate in bps. Received packets that were out of order. Received packets with a bad checksum. Total lost packets (transmitted minus received). Current loss rate in bps. Loss as a percentage of transmitted packets. Minimum measured latency. Average measured latency. Maximum measured latency. Measured latency variation (jitter).
