DU Meter can show "download speeds" either way in kilobits per second (kbps) or kilobytes per second (which I think they abbreviate as KB), depending on which report or graph you are looking at.
Throughput measurements will generally be quite less than the raw capacity of a circuit. That's because they take into account the bytes and time used for: Headers Inter-frame gaps ACKs Turn-around time at the client Turn-around time at the server To determine if this circuit is healthy, do a show interface. Look for errors. _______________________________ Priscilla Oppenheimer www.troubleshootingnetworks.com www.priscilla.com Symon Thurlow wrote: > > Make sure you are not seeing 50KB, not 50Kb. 50KB equates close > to > 384Kb. > > I have 1Mb ADSL and get around 110KB dl speed maxed out from a > local FTP > server. > > Symon > > -----Original Message----- > From: Jerry Deer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 13 October 2002 18:53 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: frame relay congestion - seek and destroy!
