Would that truly be able to test send / receive of a full (up to) gigabit of data to/from the interface? If it's loopback, it could test either sending 500 + receiving 500, or... sending 500 + receiving 500. It's like sending data through localhost, it doesn't seem to reflect a more real-world scenario (but could be especially helpful just for testing).
- nitrogen 6y agoI think maybe they meant linking Port 1 to Port 2, and Port 3 to Port 4? Also I believe gigabit ethernet can be full duplex, so you should be able to send 1000 and receive 1000 on a single interface at the same time if it's in full duplex mode.
