TTCP (Test TCP) has become more a concept than a single application these days. the basic idea is that you put up a sender and a receiver and see how much data your connection can move. it is only usable if you have access to machines on both ends of the connection you're looking to test. keep in mind that you'll want to have few hops between your boxes, you don't want your ISPs backbone to another country to affect the results. one of the original versions can be found here: ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/network/monitoring/ttcp/ >. there are also java versions out there "in the wild". -- Terje -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

When you go to yell at the ISP, the thing you need to find out first is WHERE the slowdown happens. You may be actually getting your full connection speed, but only to the isp because they need to fix something in the way they're handeling your connection internally. Or you're just paying for service they aren't giving you. I don't know what kind of dedicated connection you have so, Take a look at your service agreement, make sure that they aren't providing a MAX of 2mb upload/download.

Put a 5mb file on your web server and let us all download it from various parts of the globe. That'll certainly test your outbound connection. ;) Those web-based bandwidth tests are notoriously unreliable. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
