Hi list, Is there any way from either a router or L3 switch I can saturate a line/link? I don't want to use a computer or external device.
Lets pretend that $provider has given me a 1Gbps up-link to a device which terminates various 100 Mbps links, so having a pc with software to pump out 1Gbps would be no good. Since most people have up links many times faster that most other ports on their routers/switches how can I test the up link throughput from the device. If for what ever reason I had 1Gbps access ports with a 1Gbps up link I could use a pc/hardware traffic generator and test the link and for example routers ability to policy route and filter at 1Gbps but I just want to test the physical link its self for its top end throughput. Pointers anyone? -- James. http://www.jamesbensley.co.cc/ There are 10 kinds of people in the world; Those who understand Vigesimal, and J others...? _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
