rb2011 ordered Thanks everyone. From: Josh Luthman Sent: Monday, August 17, 2015 2:32 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] GigE Testing
IMO Take a new design. Make it pass a gig of traffic, ideally with small packets. Once the design is done, any reproductions should just make sure there's a gige link.

You'll see link, one color is gigabit. Hell you could run a script to check the rate and print it. For more testing you could do a MT speed test between it/to itself.
