Abstract: The present invention relates generally to networking, and more particularly to techniques and products for verifying, qualifying and/or quantifying the performance of networking devices and infrastructure. According to certain aspects, test equipment according to embodiments of the invention performs stress tests using both client and server emulation with very low overhead, providing a virtually unlimited number of servers and/or clients. According to further aspects, tests include the transfer of real files between clients and servers, not just test patterns. According to further aspects, test equipment includes an easy to use Web GUI interface. According to further aspects, tests are performed using TCP protocol, which is the predominant form of network traffic.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for quickly and easily disengaging and re-engaging a fastener installation tool head from a fastener installation tool body. A novel fastener installation tool head quick disconnect assembly is provided, consisting in a preferred arrangement of a sleeve assembly and an adapter housing assembly. The adapter housing assembly is rigidly attached to the fastener installation tool body and the sleeve assembly is attached to the adapter housing assembly via a quick-disconnect latching mechanism on the adapter housing assembly. To remove the sleeve assembly from the adapter housing assembly the operator simply translates the latching mechanism rearwardly, rotates the sleeve assembly 60.degree. to align an internal and an external set of lugs and grooves on the assemblies, and pulls the sleeve assembly forward disengage the sleeve assembly from the adapter housing assembly.
