如何测试网络协议？

Question

I'm currently doing some research including comparing efficiency, accuracy and flexibility of different transport protocols such like tcp, udp and a new protocol based on udp we're currently designing. I'm aware of the differences in general, the facts like tcp is more accurate while udp is more fast. What i'm looking for are more specific indicators those can be used to validate and evaluate a protocol.

Also considering the changing network environment, the evaluation cannot be convincing without a series of testing and capturing, which means the testing need to be ran automatically and get overall performance indicator. So i prefer to use some cli tools.

Check out the new Message Analyzer from Microsoft, a new network protocol, system message, and ETW event analysis tool, complete with extensive filtering, graphics, remote capture, asset sharing; and it is Powershell-enabled: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj649776.aspx
