TASS Belgium / Mbed 2 deprecated PicoTCP_Official_TCP_Full_Benchmark

Official TCP Full speed benchmark

Dependencies:   PicoTCP lpc1768-picotcp-eth mbed-rtos mbed

This project represents a the official TCP Full speed Benchmark for the PicoTCP library.

The mbed board is sending and receiving one Megabyte from/to the other side and we measure how fast it does that.

The result:
TX+RX Throughput: 2097152 bytes in 1 seconds (12.410)Mbits/s

The python script used (which you should rename it to PicoTCP_Official_TCP_Full_Benchmark.py)
