Well, if this is all IP-over-foo, you could run tcpdump or nettl on
each of the interfaces in turn to see if you can see your traffic.

Or if you know the "other" interface(s) should be quiet you could look
at link-level statistics with lanadmin (or whatever is used for IB if
it doesn't support lanadmin).

The "omni" tests in top-of-trunk netperf will make a _guess_ as to
what interface they are using based on doing a route lookup.
