Re: [H] Network connection bandwidth benchmark & reliability

My real world test is Usenet downloads & DD-Wrt's bandwidth monitor. Doesn't max the 
LAN's speed though.


Netio & Iperf come to mind as benchmarks.

This is windows software that will test for up to 200 s

http://www.passmark.com/index.html

It gives a nice graph. the results show that I have maintain an average 
of 30.45 Mbps over my powerline network between PCs at opposite ends of 
the house on different floors using TCP protocol.  it does give a nice 
graph, too, but I really would like to run it for hours to see if 
various things turning on/off in my home affect the transfer 
performance.  The numbers above seem to be about 3.8 MB/s, which is fine 
for home theater streaming applications.  However, I would like 
consistent results.  It seems like when I first started testing I was 
getting about 1.35 MB/s, so why the better performance over the last day 
or so?


File copies to this same PC indicate transfers are a bit faster...more 
like 4.8 to 5.2 MB/s. That's be consistent over the past couple of days.


ipert seems to be linux/unix...I think jpert is a windows shell...I 
moved passed it previously...

I'd love to find something like this as well.  I haven't tried this 
yet, but it might work. http://sourceforge.net/projects/iperf/
