Using AI Agents for Real Network Testing
AI agents are no longer limited to answering questions or writing code. In this experiment, Codex independently installed Tessabyte, discovered the command-line syntax, and performed real TCP/UDP network tests against local and cloud servers — all from a plain-English prompt. This is not consumer “speed test” automation. It is the beginning of intent-driven network testing.


10 Gigabit External Ethernet Adapters: Do They Really Deliver?
External 10G Ethernet adapters promise easy upgrades to multi-gig speeds, but do they actually deliver? We tested USB and Thunderbolt 10G adapters in a controlled lab setup and found a mixed picture. Some devices reached near line-rate TCP throughput, while others struggled badly. Even more interesting, UDP performance lagged far behind. Here’s what’s really going on under the hood.
