Does anyone know of a Linux-based piece of software for testing a
TCP/IP network? I have a segment of my network that's in another
building which is connected by glass. Machines over there are getting
exquisitely slow response times and my supposition is that TCP/IP
retries are occuring due to some flakey equipment. Ping works fine to
anything over there, yet any transmissions of sizeable data take
forever. I have two transceivers and two hubs that could be the
problem and I don't have spares (currently.)
I have hardware-based testing equipment for testing 10-BaseT but
nothing that will cross the different media types.
If there is a piece of software that would load up a network and give
me some idea of the current stats I could start isolating each piece,
using my laptop and another computer. A google search hasn't turned
up anything yet I'm sure that one must exist already.
Any suggestions?
TIA,
Barry
