I use Smokeping also (but prefer Cacti's ping latency tool better). The "problem" is that this only measures ICMP latency. Something like iperf would actually *blast* the type of traffic at some other node on the network and better approximate the load capacity. While Smokeping latency reports are a good correlation, they only show what the network looks like "now". I'm looking for something that will take a more active approach and give me a better picture of what takes a dive during load. With iperf, I can > the output to a file, which I can tuck away as "proof" that I was somewhat on target with my design. In the past, I've used Smartbit. Others, I know, use Ixia. I'm hoping for a quick command line tool that lets me not have to rent, buy, borrow special hardware. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
