I'll be sure to test this tonight or tommorrow myself when I setup my Antenna. (Just my 19dBi Parabolic)<br><br>Bit akward too explaining away the Avon box I received in the Mailroom this morning. :)<br>But $70 + Postage for a 19dBi Parabolic... can't complain really.<br>

Good morning,<br>
<br>
Last Friday evening I wrote down an email address for someone I was going to<br>
send details of a bandwidth test tool that could be used to measure the real<br>
throughput to node KBN.<br>
<br>
Sorry, I forgot where I wrote it (duh!) and I don't remember your name<br>
either! :-}<br>
<br>
Anyhow, the tool I was talking about is here:<br>
<a href="http://www.mikrotik.com/download/btest.exe" target="_blank">http://www.mikrotik.com/download/btest.exe</a><br>
<br>
It only works with a Mikrotik at the other end, of course, or you can run<br>
the server on a pc and test from remote as well.<br>
<br>
There is a btest server running on 10.10.65.5, use username: mw, passwd:<br>
wireless<br>
<br>
The test will give you real data throughput in real time, so is a reasonable<br>
measure of link capacity end-to-end. You can run it in TCP or UDP mode, and<br>
you can set the packet size (or random) to try to determine what sort of<br>
data rate you can expect for typical applications.<br>
<br>
I'll be interested to know what sort of throughput you can measure.<br>
<br>
Cheers!<br>
