OK - that's a fine project idea, but I'm not about to start coding it up 
any time soon :-)

In any case, if we're going to insist that this test run on a 
hypothetical switch gen2 distribution, then the "choose a random port" 
code needs to check if it's running on a CA or router versus a switch 
and choose the port range appropriately.
