The idea is to test between two boxes (connected directly with a standard CAT5 cable) to eliminate/minimize any other network interference caused by routers, switches, hubs, etc.
On one box I will have my Gigabit Ethernet card (connected with different media types) that I want to test and on the other end of the box, I am going to have a standard known reference Gigabit Ethernet.
The media types are:
a) Standard CAT5
b) Custom twisted pair
