Network Benchmarking Tool ??

[ebaycj]

Guys-

I seem to remember a Windows-based utility to benchmark network throughput between two machines (other than transferring files and watching network usage), though I can't remember the name, and I figured that someone here would probably know what I'm talking about.

Instead of sending / recieving files from the hard disk, the utility would generate network traffic on the fly to be sent over the network (thereby eliminating disk bottlenecks).

It may have had a "client" (reciever) program and a "server" (sender) program, or it may have been one executable that could be configured to be either a sender or a reciever, I can't remember.

I DO remember for a fact that it only required two machines (no 'monitor' machine, no 'file server' machine, etc)

Anyway, if this rings any bells, please speak up, I'd really appreciate it !

Thanks,
ebaycj

You have to give some personal info, but this Application really worth it.:thumbsup:

Download the Main program and a copy of the stand alone End Point.

Install the Master program on one computer (Main computer, or serve). Install the End point Client on all other computers on the Network.
