Subject: Error testing

Jon,
	Well, no I wasn't thinking that hard...but we could try some things.
Here
is my first set of ideas:

1. Technology level - recovery of a TCP or UDP session when there is:
	LIP on a loop
	removal/insertion on both a loop and a fabric (with change of
AL_PA?)
	movement between ports on a fabric (FRAP)
2. Frame level - Selective destruction of frames by jamming the CRC. We
would have to figure out a way to identify TCP or UDP frames in a particular
session (port number) and blow away a percentage of them. This might be a
bit involved to set up and it would mostly exercise the TCP stack vs.
anything Fibre Channel.
3. Protocol level - Duplicate IP address that arrives before the original on
a removal/insertion process

I don't have a problem with doing some stress testing/performance measures
with ttcp

Other ideas?
