One PC Two Interfaces: one send and one receive

[topology]

Note. With this setting, we don’t need to care about the time synchronization. We can use this topology to test the routing performance of H2.

[execution]

Open two terminals. One for send and the other for receive.

We got the sending and receiving time. Then we can obtain the time difference for transmission delays and the packet processing delay in h2.
