Hi, The first thing that comes to mind is to use a javascript/java in a page running on the client side that would report the results to your JSP/servlet page. The main advantages are that you don't need to wory about firewalls on the client side, and the work is done on the client side, so you don't need to worry about timeouts and stuff like that.
There are quite a few sites on the net that let you measure the speed of your connection. Find one, and see if you can figure out how they do it. It doesn't sound like a small task.
