iperf will do what you seek, and removes such things as disk performance etc from the equation. You'll be only bottlenecked by the the bus speed, which is good because if, for instance, you're using a gigabit network connection through a USB port, you'll be limited to what's available via USB. I've used it often to test fibre connections at my old job, and still use it today to validate that a network card can reliably do fdx speeds. http://sourceforge.net/projects/iperf/ -SM > > Thanks, > > Jeremy > _______________________________________________ > mlug mailing list > [email protected] > https://listes.koumbit.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mlug-listserv.mlug.ca > _______________________________________________ mlug mailing list [email protected] https://listes.koumbit.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mlug-listserv.mlug.ca
