Networking Optimization Pile On Tests

17. {{{Q}}}

Introduction

Linden Lab has made some changes to the way regions handle network traffic and these tests will help us insure that regions are communicating appropriately over the network. Mainly we are concerned with agents entering via direct login, teleport, and region crossing. As well as other functions such as IMs, Voice, and Group chat. Testing will require out of world communication we will be coordinating testing via IRC.

Prerequisites

IRC Connection
