When I search for issues I usually try to divide the area where the problem
possibly exists into two parts and check both sides. If the problem can be
excluded from one part I focus on the other part and try to divide it again.

So in my current situation I want to find out if the problem comes from the
sender side (data takes too long to generate) or receiver side (data takes too
long to consume). Thus I hope to be able to take a look at the network buffer
fill sizes to see if data is queued there or not.

Do you know some other technique to sepearate the issue between server and
client?

At first the network should work OK.
Second, there should be no live AV scanner or whatsoever security 
suite running on both sides, it just happened yesterday that I wondered
why my FTP client only sent files at around 300 kb/sec to a local box
that had MS SecurityEssentials installed. 
Third, if possible use a known fast third party client or server to
test your own server or client against. If that's impossible I'd either
write some test application that logs response times and more I'm  
interested in, or add such logging capabilities to the original 
application(s). Last but not least Wireshark can be usefull as well 
to find the bottleneck side.

[twsocket] Tool for analyzing network throughput issues

2011-01-07 Thread Tobias Rapp
Hello,

I am experiencing throughput problems with my ICS-based network transfer
application and want to ask if anybody knows a tool to debug those kind of
issues (visualize maybe the current network latency, TCP send/receive buffer
fill size, etc.).

Regards,
Tobias

What about Wireshark?

I'm only aware of this rather old however maintained one that addresses
common Windows network speed issues:
