I gotta wonder. How reliable is iPerf over something like RFC2544 or =
Y.1564? Especially at those speeds?
I just picked up a couple of Accedian=E2=80=99s RFC2544/Y.1564 boxes to =
use as loopbacks to our field Exfos. We=E2=80=99ll probably wind up =
buying a few more Accedian boxes for the field where we don=E2=80=99t =
need to spend the money on an Exfo.
One of the Accedian boxes is arguably less than what you=E2=80=99d pay =
for a TB MBP and that Sonnet adapter.
