Sorry, sent my last email before checking the inbox, where you had more detail.
So on your 'private' WAN, still more info needed. Are they using MPLS on a broadband connection ? My point, is that this is NOT a point to point in the classic sense like a T1 that is supposed to have dedicated copper between sites. You are dependent on routers and/or packet switching for connection to either the internet or the other 'connected' site. Presumably your sites are kept private via encryption, which adds overhead and reduces total throughput. Also, it's a bit of an 'in the cloud' circuit solution, so you don't know how many device hops your packets take between sites, and each hop, whether visible to your layer three route table, or hidden as layer two bridging, also degrades maximum possible performance. Still back to my earlier statement, was this a guaranteed 100mpbs between sites, or "UP TO" 100mpbs , per the circuit contract ? Just my two cents again. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David McSpadden Sent: Friday, August 09, 2013 7:31 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [NTSysADM] Bandwidth speed test between two LANs Thanks. I have downloaded it and I am getting it installed at both new 100mb locations, the ISP, and one 1.5mb location. I will test each to each. Get my twelve results and compare. I think I am really only getting about 40mb on the two new ones but the stats will show me. As always, my communication skills suck, but you guys translate and get me exactly what I am looking for. It is appreciated. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kurt Buff Sent: Friday, August 9, 2013 1:33 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [NTSysADM] Bandwidth speed test between two LANs Others have suggested jperf or iperf.
