 Posted: Thu Mar 27, 2003 9:25 am Post subject: Network Bandwith tester |
 |
|
I have been searching for a bandwith tester for an internal network. Something that will let me get some benchmarks between say machine 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.2.
Any suggestions?
Also, it would be nice to have something that was dependant on hard drive speeds so that it would be more accurate information.

You mean _in_dependent?!
I recommend http://freshmeat.net/projects/netio/.
Unfortunately it depends on cpu power. But with modern computers that's no problem. Just watch for it when using it on old ones.

As already mentioned, netio is great.
This reminds me that I should finally finish and submit the ebuild I began a few months ago... :-/ |

Is there any screenshot or features description about netio?
I only find a .zip file in freshmeat and wouldn't like to install it since
it's not in the portage. |

Hi
It is just a simple CLI tool and as far as I remeber there is only "--help" output, maybe a short readme. Operation is straightforward: You start it either as a server or as a client. AS the hompage/freshmeat says: it "measures the net throughput of a network via TCP/IP (and NetBIOS on Windows and OS/2) using various different packet sizes."
And as you only need a single file - the netio binary - you shouldn't have a mess justbecause you can't install via portage/ebuild.
Regards... |

Hi, I'm having problems with my ADSL conection and woluld like to create a report of my link quality along 24 hours or maybe a week. With this information I will have strong argument against my ADSL operator. Well, what I saw about some bandwidth benchmarks they analyze different characteristics for a single test. Therefore a sequence of these create me a multi-variate problem.
Anyone suggest me a pattern test resulting in a single variable, or at least a minimum number of variables, to be repeated each 30 minutes and then could analyze these results along hours or days?
Best regards |

Why not build a shell script to do a traceroute or a ping and run it from cron.
Log the output to a file for analysis. |

I'm trying with netperf, using this
| Code: | | */5 * * * * echo `/usr/local/bin/netperf -H IP.OF.THE.NETSEVER -I99,2.5 -tTCP_RR -P0 -v0 -- -r 1024,256` `/bin/date "+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"` >> var/log/netperf.log |
in cron. I'm not sure if this conf is the best one to analyze link quality. |
