thewireguys 3 Posted June 3, 2009 Is there a product one the market that will let you test the bandwith of your switches, routers, and wireless links? I am using AnalogX NetStat but it only tests the NIC on the computer. I am looking for a device like my Cable tester that I would plug send and receive units into the switch. Then I would have the send unit stream 1Gig of info on the switch to the receive unit and if your able to receive the 1Gig stream. Any ideas? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sviviani 0 Posted June 4, 2009 can't you do that with 2 computers? or 2 switches and monitor them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soundy 1 Posted June 4, 2009 Sure you could, but that that makes for a couple of pretty bulky testers. Fluke makes a range of "standalone" network analyzers and testers: http://www.flukenetworks.com/fnet/en-us/products/Industry.htm?categorycode=INET Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Easiest way, transfer a file from one to the other, see how long it takes. Not the most accurate method, but it'll give you a fair idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
