Re: How to verify code runs under the FMS?

Practice Day on the real field at the event is the most important and accurate testing you can do, and the practice field will not have the same setup as the real field.

The FRC Bridge Configuration Utility sets up the DLink to emulate at home the 7Mb/s bandwidth limitation of the field, as well as the Quality of Service prioritization of command packets over video or other user data packets.

The port and VPN restrictions can be checked through Wireshark, but it's possible to misunderstand or miss restricting violations visually, so the real field is the best teacher.

Things teams take for granted at home, like running Netconsole, won't work on the real field because the port is blocked.
