On Windows open a Cmd prompt window and the command "netstat -s -p TCP" will give a snapshot of TCP statistics. To see changes you need to do the same command and look to see which counters have increased.
The significant ones in terms of quality would be "connection resets" and "packets retransmitted". A connection is reset usually after timeouts and basically unrecoverable error in communications. If a packet is lost due to error, network load etc, then it has to be retransmitted. The Reset and Retransmitted counters should not change frequently. You might do a comparison between listening using a Media player and listening using SB/mplayer. -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28257 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
