Network Interface Tests

Our network tests use the ntttcp application distributed by Microsoft for testing network controller’s efficiency.  The program creates a number of threads from a server machine to spit data at the test machine at up to Gigabit speeds.  Both maximum throughput and CPU utilization are tested.

These numbers are pretty standard fare in the realm of Gigabit networking performance. The AW9D-MAX did win out in the CPU utilization by a discernable margin.
