[MLB-WIRELESS] Iperf Bandwidth tester

Hi,

I recently came across a great little bandwidth testing program called
iperf.  You can get it at:
http://dast.nlanr.net/Projects/Iperf/

You set one end up as a server and then run the other end as a client -
it will report bandwidth as MBit/sec or KBit/sec.  By default it tests
for 10 seconds but you can test for longer than that.  The client can
initiate send, receive, or simultaneous tests.  Great for testing
wireless links.

It comes in Linux or Win32 flavours and both talk to each other, and are
nearly identical in their command-line operation.

Has anyone else used it?  Are there other bandwidth testers out there?

Cheers,

Dan
