Well, you could always do an FTP transfer of a large known file (like an ISO image) over the link and time it. Divide the size by the time and you'll get a real world answer.
And in this case, yes, FTP will provide a faster throughput than a Windows SMB file copy (especially before Win8/Server2012). -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David McSpadden Sent: Friday, August 09, 2013 11:42 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [NTSysADM] Bandwidth speed test between two LANs No the communication provider is saying all the Windows based apps are junk because anything running over Windows depreciates the packets with excess overhead. ??? But a linux to linux or IOS to IOS test would be sufficient to prove or disprove the amount of bandwidth. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tim Evans Sent: Friday, August 9, 2013 11:26 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [NTSysADM] Bandwidth speed test between two LANs I don't think so (see jperf).
