Link State View
Link State View is used for debugging Auto Negotiation and Link Training in Ethernet, and Speed Negotiation and TX Training in Fibre Channel. The Link Viewer is intended to show events chronologically. Transitions will not be shown on this view. All the errors that occur in the Trace will be shown in the Event Viewer.
Link State View can be enabled by selecting the Link State View

RTT Pairs
Round-trip time (RTT), also called round-trip delay, is the time required for a signal pulse or packet to travel from a specific source to a specific destination and back again. In this context, the source is the computer initiating the signal and the destination is a remote computer or system that receives the signal and retransmits it. For more details, see Round Trip Time (RTT) Pairs.
