Iperf : Measuring your bandwidth (2)

Product : Iperf
Part Involved : Measure of Bandwidth
Summary: When the answer of the command "ping" is not continue and you find a bouncing link then it is necessary to establish how is your bandwidth working.
Scenario : The delayed conecction inserted into LAN connection has a big impact on your LAN company.
Company : The National Cancer Institute of Peru (INEN).
Reference Date : February 2008.

That is in the case when your company has limited resources and there is no possible to hire some contractor to troubleshooting the event occured linked to LAN trouble. The another point is to share all the stages into LAN conecctions between : structured cabling, switching equipment and every other device connected into the path of the trace of your command "ping". That is, follows the trace of the signal locating the source and target place to test the connecction of that band width .

Additionally, the answer of the comand "ping" has its own limitation when the answer is not continuos, in that case how can you determine the source of the problem, that is focusing on the measure of the bandwidth of that segment of LAN.

Here, you will find an interesting video captured http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPWMgZ8mMng about two measures did (and the process involved) at the same time on the same screen, reading values of the how the Server is looking that link and how Client is looking the same link.
