The standard would be to run iperf in a controlled environment. You need an iperf server on one side, and an iperf client on the other.
An easier way is to ftp get something when the link is otherwise unused. ftp is better than http/scp/most other stuff for returning an actual throughput. Also check out the gui in IPCop - it should have some sort of "current throughput" page somewhere. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kerry Mayes Sent: Friday, 23 June 2006 9:35 a.m. To: linux-users@it.canterbury.ac.nz Subject: Re: Telstra cable...
