LAN Ethernet Maximum Rates, Generation, Capturing & Monitoring
From NST Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to searchContents
Overview
This article covers maximum LAN Ethernet rates values that can be achieved for both Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet using the TCP/IP or the UDP network protocols. The steps on how to generate, capture and monitor maximum Ethernet rates will be shown using various tools bundled with the Network Security Toolkit (NST). Finally, a demonstration on how Linux segmentation off-loading for supported NIC adapters can produce Super Ethernet Frames that are captured and reported by the network protocol analyzer will be presented.
