Probably two laptops, doesn't need to be anything fancy, my 2006 Lenovo X60 with GigE port does the full 950Mbps TCP.

Any ideas on how to test a GigE device go-nogo without buying more big dollar testers (which I currently use)? It needs to be fast and show speeds in both directions. Have considered just putting up a GigE switch and plugging the surge suppressor into two ports and seeing if they light. But that sounds pretty cheap and dirty. Want to see numbers. A laptop talking to another laptop with iperf may end up being the solution. Not sure if there are GigE USB NICS so I could do it all on one laptop or not. Any other ideas?
