| 89 | | * packETH is a packet generator and will be used to generate LLDP packets |
| 90 | | (though you can generate your choice of packets). On debian distributions (like Ubuntu), packETH can be installed from the package manager. This test simply |
| 91 | | verifies LLDP connectivity between OpenFlow switches |
| 92 | | * The source computer installs packETH and generates these packets |
| 93 | | to the destination host. packETH has a self explanatory interface |
| 94 | | At the receiving end, the host simply runs tcpdump to collect |
| 95 | | the statistics |
| 96 | | |

| 102 | | |
| 103 | | For this test, the video server streams UDP packets to the client who stores the stream |
| 104 | | in a file (Perhaps for later viewing). This test primarily analyzes performance statistics |
| 105 | | (using tcpdump) rather than viewing the stream on the client side. |

| | 109 | The client receives contents of the stream (from port abcd) and stores it in a file named GpENI.mov |
| 138 | | |

| 140 | | |
| 141 | | This test is strictly for decorative purposes. For this reason, the received stream will be |
| 142 | | displayed at the host's terminal. Please note that, due to latency constraints on the streamed frames, |
| 143 | | DO NOT be disappointed if the resulting video is not HD quality. |
