As far as measuring bandwidth, there's a program called 'bing' (which is not in portage) which will determine the available bandwidth between twopoints. I'm sure there's many good programs in net-analyzer as well which do things like that.
Lets play some homebrew stuff here:
on the server: dd if=/dev/zero of=testfile bs=1M count=100 nc -l -p 9999 < testfile;
on the client: time nc server 9999 >/dev/null
;
Repeat three or four times for good measure.
Sorry for replying to this so late - I seem to have some latency with my POP3 server & this has only just come through.
But I don't seem to have `nc` installed. What is it, please, and what package might I find it in..?
Thanks,
Stroller.
