CentOS 5 :: How To Measure Bandwidth Speed

Dec 19, 2010

I am wondering if there is a tool that measures bandwidth speed right from the shell on CentOS 5.4/5.5.

I am looking for a speed tool rather than go ahead and download a large file and time it sort of advice.

Please let me know if this is available.

P.S. It is to measure the internet speed from the ISP and not the LAN speed.

Networking :: Need Bandwidth Traffic Measure By IP

May 25, 2011

I have a proxy/gateway server with X routable addresses and X clients, each connecting to his corresponding address from my server. All clients have public static IP's. I need something like the output of 'pktstat -1 -w 10 -B -i eth0 -n -P -t -T' but that would indicate the biggest'traffic hogs' from my clients.

Something like:
67.78.89.90 <-> my.public.ip.1 1344KB/s up 289KB/s down
56.67.78.89 <-> my.public.ip.2 1203KB/s up 200KB/s down

With this output, I can limit the traffic passing thru my server using a bandwidth limiter on my.public.ip.1 and my.public.ip.2. Pktstat only shows the total traffic from-to the respective IP's gathered in a 10second interval (-w 10). I would like something that would indicate the bandwidth per ip more precisely, I don't want to divide the total traffic by 10 (seconds).
Please note that this will go in a cron job. The interactive tools like iftop are useless (I would like something like a text screenshot of iftop from which I could extract the needed information).

General :: Measure The Bandwidth Used By A Given Process After It Has Completed?

Feb 9, 2010

Is there a way to get a summary of how much bandwidth a given process used on Linux after the process completes? I do not want a monitor, I want something I can look at after the task has completed..

Ideally something like the "time" command or a profiler, but for network usage.

Hardware :: Any Way To Measure USB Drive Speed?

May 30, 2011

Any good way to measure USB drive speed in a repeatable and effective way? I know that what I "copy" and how I "copy" and the filesystem in use make a difference in anything I try to measure. I know that I can:choose some file or folder tree use various tools (cp, tar, rsync, etc) to move the data use time command to collect details do this more than once.

One "benchmark" I've used in the past was to create a source tree for some application and use make clean; time make in that tree. Lots of I/O of various sorts and some computation and very repeatable. Since I'm not seeking a gold standard benchmark, I can do what I like, but I'd like to do something (a)meaningful in general for myself and others, and (b)avoid inventing what probably already exists.

Networking :: Tools To Measure Internet Speed ?

Aug 5, 2010

Is there some software to measure Internet speed and show where the slowest element is?

I use OpenSuse 11.1 and KDE although Im happy to set up a user using Gnome.

Just recently my browsing speed dropped to almost nothing ...I used [url] to measure my speed and it gave a very slow result 30kb/sec ....usually its around 3000kb/sec. I rang my ISP's helpdesk and they told me my ADSL connection was fine. Two minutes later it was back to normal!

I know the internet speed varies from time to time ...I guess depending on how many are using it and for what. But..I suspect that my ISP was restricting my speed and Im looking for a tool that will tell me which part of the internet is the "slowest"

I would also welcome pointers to information about internet speed and what causes it to change.

Ubuntu Networking :: Measure Network Speed Between Two Servers

Jan 18, 2010

Any command line tool to measure the network speed between my two linux servers without taking disk speed into account? My network is supposed to be 100Mb, but it doesn't feel like that so I wonder where the bottleneck is. The numbers that I see doesn't correlate well to that. So I'd like to know the speed network card to network card.

General :: Bandwidth Management - How To Limit Connection Speed

Jan 4, 2010

In my household a number of people use the internet. Up to a maximum of 3 wired connections and 2 wireless connections at its peak, all connection through my D-LINK G604T router. The problem is, when one person is downloading or watching ..... or whatever, the others using the internet suffer. I've spent hours configuring QoS on my router, and long story short, no matter how I configure it, it just simply does not work. QoS in no way shape or form limits connection speed (which it says it should). Anyway.

I have a spare computer under my desk, and I'd like to know if I could set this up with a (free) linux distro that limits bandwidth speed per connection. For example, of the 1500 kb/ps (about) my modem pulls, is there a way to limit that to 768 or 512 per connection? so person A can still download, person B can still watch ....., and person C can still play counterstrike with a latency under 100. This would solve many, many arguments in my house I am *fairly* good with computers, but if the distro came with documentation and a GUI that would be awesome.

* TL;DR: *
Is there a linux distro I can load on a spare computer that limits bandwidth per connection, wireless or otherwise, with good documentation?
Failing that is there firmware I can use for my modem (dlink g604t) that would do the same?
Failing that do you know of any good hitmen that would solve my family arguments, ahem, permanently?

Fedora Networking :: Finding The Upcoming Bandwidth And Specify The Bandwidth Rateto Classes

Nov 18, 2010

I created a the class like this for shaping the packets with a specified bandwidth rate.....

tc qdisc del dev eth0 root
tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: htb default 15
tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:0 classid 1:1 htb rate 750kbit ceil 750kbit
tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:1 classid 1:3 htb rate 600kbit ceil 750kbit prio 0

For Our Requirement:-

I dont want to specify the bandwidth rate strictly like this rate750kbit ceil 750kbit,based on whatever speed is coming which should allocate the bandwidth rate for particular class...I need one application for finding the upcoming bandwidth & Is any other method is there for specify the bandwidth rate in a classes.

May 27, 2009

We have a sipmle office network set up that we also use use to connect to the internet, however of late the number of users has increased thus slowing internet access. Bandwidth upgrade is not an option thus i have to do bandwidth shaping on our linux router. The question is how do set the squid configs to allow certain IP's range a certain percentage bandwidtheg 60% and furthe divide the rest. Alternatively how can allow certain IPs to have higher bandwidth access.

CentOS 5 Server :: RAID0 - Getting Extremely Slow Read / Write Speed

Jun 28, 2010

I am new to Centos and linux in general. I have just got myself a Dell 1950 server with 2x 1T SATA2 hard disks in it. now the server comes with a PERC5i Raid card with 512Mb. Well I put these in raid 0 and the raid card initilzed the disks to 128 writeback and read ahead. When I loaded centos it did not recognize the dell layout so therefore wanted to initalize it again, so I done this as it wanted. Now I created a 80gb boot and o/s partition and a 100gb swap the rest was created into LVM space to run solus vmwear. But I found the raid 0 to be getting extreamly slow read and write speeds.

Example same disks
Desktop PC max 214mb/s windows vista 64
Server with centos 104mb/s

Now I am not sure but I am told that I need to align the o/s with the raid card settings but I have no idea how to do this. How to do this in plain easy step by step instructions. I mean how to calculate it, how to format the disk this way, and what files to edit where if needed. I have spent hours trying to figure out why my raid 0 is slower than a single disk.

CentOS 5 :: Switching To 64bit On Sempron LE1100 - Slow Transfer Speed

Aug 15, 2010

My Sempron LE-1100 home server (1GB RAM) has run CentOS 5 32-bit happily for years, but I decided to replace its two Seagate 250GB drives (RAID1) with two WD 500GB black drives (RAID1). I decided to do a fresh install and used CentOS 5.5 64-bit this time. Since switching to the 64-bit OS with the new drives, my transfer speed across the LAN has dropped from a reliable 45MB/s to only 18MB/s from other machines to the server, and to 27MB/s from the server to other machines on the LAN. I use gFTP or WinSCP for these transfers (in FTP mode). Prior to installing the new WD drives, I ran the long WD tests on them and they passed, so I don't believe the drives are faulty. I suspect it's more to do with me switching CentOS from i386 to x86_64.

I've got two questions:
1. Is the 64-bit version of CentOS appropriate for a Sempron LE-1100 with 1GB ram, or should I switch back to the i386 version?
2. Is there a reason why switching to the 64-bit OS would negatively impact on transfer speeds? I doubt the new HDDs are faulty...I was expecting them to be faster.
3. Is there anything I can try to improve transfer speeds across the LAN?
According to PHPSysInfo, the network card is "Ethernet controller: nVidia Corporation MCP67 Ethernet".

CentOS 5 Hardware :: 5.4 - No Speed Step / Turbo With Intel Xeon X5550 (Nehalem)

Dec 15, 2009

I just installed a new HP DL360 with 32 GB of RAM and a Intel Xeon X5550 which supports speed stepping and turbo mode. I've enabled turbo in the BIOS, but cannot seem to get CentOS 5.4 to make use of either of these features. I've been googling for a solution for a while now, and tried various things, such as installing cpufreq. However, when I type cpufreq-info, I get this:
