I had done some TAHI testing with RHEL + FreeBSD on VMware back in 2006/2007
and clock drifts caused random TAHI tests to fail. This was specially true of
the long-lived test cases that test timeouts over 2-3 hr periods. The
virtualized network was not an issue as VMWare provides a clean network
bridge. Getting serial port connection between instances for test automation
was a real pain.

Each Self test 52 MB + interoperability 1 MB  (total compressed - 3.4 MB)

Separate platforms is an IPv6 Ready Logo requirement. TAHI provides the
Self-Test suites for conformance verification. TAHI it self has not
requirements other than TN node requirements.
