[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] ``If the network is okay . . .''

hrp@windsor.CRAY.COM (Hal Peterson) (02/12/88)

Dave,

The suite includes tests for things like dropped packets, garbled
packets, and out of order packets.  But the testing machine and the
machine under test are separated by a network, and the testing machine
has to be able to check the results of the tests.  If the network is
dropping packets on its own, then the testing machine will be
wildered.

Does that make you willing to upgrade the certificate?  Mailbridge
second class, at least!
