Re: Gigabit speed test anybody?

Ironically, two days later, I find myself in exactly the same position; needing an iperf box to test a 100Mb client connection against.

In a perfect world, this box would hang off of NYIIX (or Arbinet) and be able to sustain 100Mb of throughput for the duration of a couple of generic iperf tests that I need to perform at a client site in a couple of hours.

Thanks in advance...

Thanks to multiple private/public responses.

I was able to get an iperf test and also a close mirror for a DVD iso.

Time to put live traffic on it and see what happens.

I'm working on turning up our first GigE connection (400mbs CIR) and the various online speedtests I'm aware of choke after about 100Mbs or so.

Does anybody know of testing sites that can handle higher bandwidth, or
have an ftp host or similar to test against?

I'm connected to Level3, backhauled to Seattle, WA.

Thanks,
Rick
