No, I don't want to test just the link. I want to make sure the path in my ISP also has enough backplane bandwidth and isn't using some old sup32 and thereby throttling traffic -----Original Message----- From: Valdis Kletnieks [mailto:valdis@vt.edu] On Behalf Of valdis.kletnieks@vt.edu Sent: Tuesday, August 14, 2012 3:40 PM To: Luqman Kondeth Cc: nanog@nanog.org; menong@mengon.net Subject: Re: Testing 1gbps bandwidth On Tue, 14 Aug 2012 15:32:47 +0400, Luqman Kondeth said:
Is anyone aware of any public IPerf servers in the middle east or close by?(Europe) or anywhere that can do udp?. I have a 1gbps Internet link which I've been asked to show that it has 1gbps download speeds.
First thing that comes to mind is remembering the difference between end-to-end throughput and the throughput across one link in the chain. If you really need to validate the one link, you probably need to get some system to inject packets at the other end of the link.
