Stan,

Your tests appear similar to those within the scope of the Protocol Testing
Lab at DCEC. You may also discover friends in the Testing Task Force,
chaired by Ed Cain (cain@edn-unix). Compatibility tests via Ethernet and
Applitek bridges may be an excellent test of Ethernet technology, but they
inspire little confidence that cranky TCP implementations find joy in each
other via real Internet paths.
