David, Thanks for the quick response, but I was looking for something a little closer to ping. I'd like to send out several packets of the same size and track the time it takes to get them back. But as I say, I'm not knowledgeable about networking, so I'm having trouble figuring out where to start. I looked for an off the shelf product, but haven't had much success finding that, either.

This is just an idea, nothing technical HTH, David -----Original Message----- From: A mailing list about Java Server Pages specification and reference [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Means, Garann R. Sent: 16 octobre, 2002 16:59 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Checking client connection speed Hi, Is there any simple means of getting the client's connection speed? I've looked through the Servlets documentation as well as the standard documentation and if the answer is there, I've missed it. But admittedly, I'm no networking expert. A little push in the right direction would be a great help.
