To test the bandwidth between two points, you can use the utility Iperf.

Use

After you install the utility on the two posts to test, you need to designate a Server and a client.

In the case of a Linux system commands to type are : For the position Server :

root@serveur:~# iperf -s
------------------------------------------------------------
Server listening on TCP port 5001
TCP window size: 85.3 KByte (default)
------------------------------------------------------------

For the client workstation :

root@client:~# iperf -c IP_DU_SERVEUR
------------------------------------------------------------
Server listening on TCP port 5001
TCP window size: 85.3 KByte (default)
------------------------------------------------------------

You will then get a result this type :

root@serveur:~# iperf -s
------------------------------------------------------------
Server listening on TCP port 5001
TCP window size: 60.0 KByte (default)
------------------------------------------------------------
[  4] local IP_DU_CLIENT port 5001 connected with IP_DU_SERVEUR port 2357
[ ID] Interval       Transfer     Bandwidth
[  4]  0.0-10.1 sec   6.5 MBytes   5.2 Mbits/sec

You can then start handling inverse, by replacing the Server customer and the client by the Server
