What are some tools to test bandwidth perfomance? I've used iperf, but are there other tools or ways to generate traffic for testing purposes to see a links maximum capacity? Especially greater than a 100mb.
CAIDA lists them better than I can: http://www.caida.org/tools/taxonomy/performance.xml Though I'll editorialize: For more than 100Mbits, you're moderately out of luck. Not many of the tools work really well over 100Mbits (or haven't been evaluated over 100Mbits...). But play with 'em and run 'em on a fast workstation, it'd be interesting to hear what you find. -Dave -- work: dga () lcs mit edu me: dga () pobox com MIT Laboratory for Computer Science http://www.angio.net/
