Hi Mark,

Our field engineers have 1G testers, but even at 1G they are costly
(in 2018!), so none have 10Gbps or higher testers and we also only do
this for those that demand it (i.e. no 20Mbps EFM customer ever asks
for a JSDU/EXO test, because iPerf can easily max out such a link,
only those that pay for say 1G over 1G get it). Hardware testers are
the best in my opinion right now but it annoys me that this is the
current state of affairs, in 2018, even for 1Gbps!

Cheers,
James.
