Re: is there a utillity...?
Gary, Keep in mind that their rate and your rate WILL be different. At least a 10% difference, due to TCP overhead. So make sure you test on already compressed data (like an MP3 stream). The more compressed the data the less likely it will go through protocol compression en route. -- Ryan On Nov 1, 2010, at 10:48 PM, Antonio Olivares wrote: On Mon, Nov 1, 2010 at 10:42 PM, Gary Kline kl...@thought.org wrote: People, is there a utility to give me the rate of bps that I am _supposed_ to be getting from my telco DSL? tia, gary -- Gary Kline kl...@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix The 7.90a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org/index.php An Open Letter to Stephen Hawking http://www.thought.org/#oL ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org Try iperf? http://www.freebsdsoftware.org/benchmarks/iperf.html Used it to test speed on modem connection.
