All my verifications of netperf have been less sophisticated than what
is mentioned below.("Yep, that seems reasonable." - though ages ago I
may have checked with an HP 4972 on a thinlan network) Anyone else done
anything more sophisticated?

I was just wondering if anyone had verified the results that netperf. For example using a external tester ( like the wandel & golterman DA-30 protocol analyzer). If you could you please send myself details about the tested carried out ( tester used, test type etc..) and results ( netperfs output, external tester output). As I am currently using this method to confirm Netperfs results and would find it help to have out confirmation of Netperfs reliable .. ( no slant no netperf intended).
