How to route local traffic over switch?
- by Franz Kafka
I'm just cabled up at home but haven't got any way of verifying that gigabit speed can be reached. As I've only got one laptop with one network card, one cable, and one switch, I'm kind of stuck.
I'm using a tool that you can start as a server or as a client to send data from one box to another. I would like to send and receive on the same Windows box.
I guess if I use my network local IP address, my Windows 8.1 PC will just route traffic internally. Is there some way of forcing the traffic to go to the switch and back again?
