boot a live linux disk like ubuntu try a speed test website. for network testing... set up the interfaces create a 1G test file, e.g. "dd if=/dev/urandom of=/tmp/random bs=1024 count=1048576" then use "time scp /tmp/random otherhost:/tmp/blah" or use "netcat -l -p 1234" on one to create a listen and on other "time cat /tmp/random | netcat -p 1234 otherhost" to see how long it takes also use iptraf. you *should* be able to get close to theoretical maximum between two machines if switches, cabling and computers are working OK. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
