+Hub throughput testing application {#hub_test_application}
+==================================
+
+[TOC]
+
+# Goal
+
+The purpose of Hub testing is to verify an OpenLCB link or bus for qualitative
+and quantitative performance characteristics. These are as follows.
+
+Qualitative:
+- The link has to be lossless.
+- There is only limited reordering allowed within the link.
+- There has to be proper throttling for ingress of packets to the link.
+
+Quantitative:
+- What is the maximum throughut of packets that can be accepted on the link.
+- What is the round-trip-time of the link.
+- What is the jitter on the timing of the packet round-trips.
+
+For hubs, a relevant question is also how do these metrics change as the number
+of clients on the hub are increased.
+
+## Testing methodology
+
+The application contains a load generator, and a receiver. For a given test,
+one generator and one or more receivers have to be attached to the same bus.
+
+The generator supplies a given load to the bus. This load may be a fixes
+traffic, or the maximum traffic that the bus is willing to accept.
+
+The receiver watches for the traffic coming from the generator, verifies the
+qualitative attributes, and measures the quantitative attributes. Statistics
+about this are printed to the screen.
