 hi,

  is there any tool could measue e2e TCP connection
 speed?


  e.g. we want to measue the delay between the TCP SYN
 and receiving SYN ACK packet.

So, all you want to know is basic RTT? Do you want to know about the
network? or the hosts? or the whole 'system' ?

One simple thing might be to just use WireShark which can calculate
the various timings on an individual tcp-session basis. Another poster
suggests tcpdump, also a fine solution...
