ndtests -- test and certification suites for SVR5 MDI network adapter card drivers

Description

The network driver test and certification suites are used to test SVR5 MDI network drivers. The following test packages are provided:

nd-basix: essentials of the test suites, required for all other packages.
nd-mdi: network MDI unit tests.
nd-dlpmdi: network Data Link Provider over MDI interface tests.
nd-drvr: network driver stress tests.
nd-util: network TCP/IP utility tests.
nd-ncard: network NCARD tests.
nd-tli: network TLI stress tests. This package contains separate tests for TCP/IP and IPX/SPX.
nd-nfs: NFS stress tests
nd-ipx: IPX/SPX testsuite.

To run the ndtests:

Install the test suites from the HDK CD-ROM, following the instructions on the CD liner notes and the /info file on the HDK CDROM or the information under the ? icon for the ndtests package in the testsuite section of the HDK web site.
Login to the system as the ndtests user, ndcert.
Configure the test suite to be run (for example, edit the nd-mdi.cfg file).
Run the test (such as auto_mdi). The nd-mdi, nd-dlpmdi, nd_drvr, and nd-ncard test suites need to be run in init state 1; the other tests are run in init state 3.
Use the rpt command to view the journal (results) files for the tests. See ``Viewing the journal (result) files'' in Developing MDI network adapter drivers for details.
Check for any errors and correct them.

A reference copy of the source for the test binaries is provided in the ~ndcert/src directory.

Do not run X Windows while running the ndtests test suites to avoid false STREAMS checks.
