WAN Links

We have a few T1/partial T1 connections at our different offices. I use MRTG to monitor the links; however, I am being asked to make sure we are getting all that we are paying for.

Basically we have a partial T1 in one of locations and they think we are not getting the 1024K that we are paying for. What tools would you guy/gals use to determine this? How about stress testing, like maxing out the line? Any thoughts?
 
an internet speed test is where i start, it should tell about what your bandwidth is, if its way off, something is screwed up, possibly with the modem, or router there, or even isp not giving the bandwidth.
 
MRTG will tell you exactly what you are looking for - it will tell you utilization.

If you have access to the routers that can tell you a lot as well. Other than that, moving a very large file is always a quick check.
 
indeed, a quick speed test, or FTP transfer (where you know the bandwidth is greater then your download) should show it. I get 100% utilization across a 100Mb link to my ftp server (local, not remote)
