Hello !
What would be your suggestions as to how to test a connexion's
upload bandwidth, without any
outside information, or user input (assuming that at the time of the
test, no other upload is going on) ?
I'm asking this in the context of an application that would need to
know this, and could do
measurements automatically.
I thought about sending out as much data as possible, wait a little to
fill the tcp send queue, then measure
what can be sent with non-blocking IO, but I would need a distant
connexion that could handle such traffic.
Would you say that hitting the first or second hop this way is bad
nettizenship ? (I'd guess...)
Any suggestion is welcome !
thanks ;-)
