Monitoring the Available Bandwidth (Part 2)
Back in August I have already posted an article which explains how complicated it is to measure the bandwidth that is actually available for you. One of the problems I mentioned was that if you want to exactly measure the available bandwidth you would have to saturate your data line and then measure the achieved bandwidth. But if you saturate your data line you are actually prohibiting all other traffic. Not a good idea for everyday life.2009-Feb-13
