[netperf-talk] Netperf for data integrity

[Powers, Joshua]

Hi,

I have a question regarding using Netperf to validate network data integrity. For example, let's say I get a new network driver during development and I want to make sure it is passing data and no corruption is occurring. Could I run Netperf and simply check various network statistics?

In a short conversation with some co-workers, what we started thinking about was something that transfers various files back and forth between two systems and checking the MD5 sum of each of these files after each transfer, but if I could do this with a tool that already exists or using Netperf and checking statistics that would be preferable.

Thanks,

Josh
