Comparing the alloy NS-05C and Netgear FS608 v2 switches using Tcpdump

In this technical report, the Alloy NS-05C and Netgear FS608 v2 8-port switches are tested using a SmartBits2000 and Tcpdump. The purpose of these tests is to compare the number of errors that occur on the backplane of each switch and observe these results through Tcpdump timestamps. The Alloy and Netgear switches are both being used at CAIA for a variety of projects.
