How To Test Server Port Speed?

[shakhawat]

How do I test my server port speed? Is there any script or tools to check the port speed whether it's 10Mbps/100Mbps/1Gbps?

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks

You could upload a test file.

and share it over http (Port 80). 100MB Test File.
And ask others to test it for you.

[EnCiPh3r]

In SSH

Just Type

wget http://cachefly.cachefly.net/100mb.test

Upto 20-30 mb - 100mbit

More than that - 1gbit

I get around 60-70mb so 1 sec

If its a linux server, use the command mii-tool

[raj11]

if its centos try this

/sbin/ethtool eth0

this will give u all details u need

plus only for speed try this
ethtool eth0 | grep -i speed

@EnCiPh3r
ur method is not accurate coz it may vary with location of server & many other factors

Its on a CDN so location doesnt matter

although my DC told me this as i had asked them same question

No EnCiPh3r was correct, use wget, just make sure you test it with several different test files from different servers.

Use the test file provided above, that will test your port speed. If around over 30mbs like said it will then be a 1GBIT port.

I tested the file, it took 1/2 sec to download the 100mb file.

So I am using 1Gbit speed server.

Thanks to all for the suggestions.
