  How to test network speeds
Posted by: hatebred - 2004-01-13, 11:18 PM - Forum: Tips and Tricks - No Replies


TTCP - How to check network transfer speeds. .:H A T E B R E D:.

 

DESCRIPTION

Ttcp times the transmission and reception of data between

two systems using the UDP or TCP protocols. It differs

from common ``blast'' tests, which tend to measure the

remote inetd as much as the network performance, and which

usually do not allow measurements at the remote end of a

UDP transmission. - From the man page

 

Now you know what it does here is a few ways to use it on your network to test transfer speed.

 

First we will start ttcp in recive mode on machine 1 - 192.168.1.105

 

The way I run it is in recive mode, be verbose (give more info), and sink all data. Sinking the data doesent print the data sent from the host to the target, in this case the contents of the 1 meg file I am sending.

 

[root@laptop howto] ttcp -r -v -s

ttcp-r: buflen=8192, nbuf=2048, align=16384/0, port=5001 tcp

ttcp-r: socket

 

From this you can see that ttcp started in recive mode and has the following structure:

 

buflen=8192 Length of buffers in bytes

nbuf=2048 Number of source buffers transmitted

align=16384/0 This has 2 parts to it.

1. the 16384 represents align the start of buffers to this modulus

2. 0 align the start of buffers to this offset.

 

port=5001 This is the port ttcp is listening on and can not be blocked by a firewall.

tcp tcp is used. You may also use UDP but TCP is better for testing in my opinon because it uses the same protocol as a majority of the network.

 

 

Now we have our target running ttcp in recive mode. Next we need to send the 1 meg file to it from our host

 

The way I run the host

[root@desktop howto] ttcp -t 192.168.1.100 < 1mb.001

ttcp-t: buflen=8192, nbuf=2048, align=16384/0, port=5001 tcp -> 192.168.1.100

ttcp-t: 1048576 bytes in 2.66 real seconds = 384.41 KB/sec +++

ttcp-t: 128 I/O calls, msec/call = 21.31, calls/sec = 48.05

 

As you can see from the first line the connection was successful to 192.168.1.100

 

The second line states that 1038576 bytes (1 MB) was sent in 2.66 seconds @ 384.41 KB/sec

 

Line there refers to the system used to do this. 128 I/O calls @ 48.05 calls a second.

 

Now back to the reciving system,

 

[root@laptop howto] ttcp -r -s -v

ttcp-r: buflen=8192, nbuf=2048, align=16384/0, port=5001 tcp

ttcp-r: 1048576 bytes in 2.75 real seconds = 372.85 KB/sec +++

ttcp-r: 1048576 bytes in 1.42 CPU seconds = 721.13 KB/cpu sec

ttcp-r: 191 I/O calls, msec/call = 14.72, calls/sec = 69.55

ttcp-r: 0.0user 1.4sys 0:02real 51% 0i+0d 0maxrss 0+2pf 0+0csw

ttcp-r: buffer address 0x8050000

 

So here is a system breakdown while we are at it:

 

DESC DESKTOP LAPTOP

300Mhz 233Mhz

 

seconds: 2.66 2.75

KB/sec 384.41 372.85

I/O calls 128 191

calls sec. 48.05 69.55

 

You can also do this between internet computers.

  VGA(0) error when starting X
Posted by: InaVirtualGhetto - 2004-01-13, 06:15 PM - Forum: Gentoo - Replies (5)


(EE) VGA(0): virtual height (0) is too small for the hardware (min 1)

 

How can I go about fixing this? It also said something like:

 

(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration

 

If I fix the VGA(0) will teh screens problem go away? I'm lost. Didnt see it in the configuration file... Any suggestions besides an attempt to drown myself?

  some problems
Posted by: inflames - 2004-01-13, 05:14 PM - Forum: General Chat - Replies (2)


hi, im having some really annoying problems with my computer.

first of all, blue screen of death messages, its like a pick and mix. new ones each time, lol.

the most common ones are, however;

 

driver_irql_less_or_not_equal

*.sys messages (varying from win32k.sys to tcpip.sys)

bad_pool_caller

 

there is probably many more, since i cant remember them all.

 

another problem, is that my computer sometimes makes a tractor noise, like the sound of a tractor starting up (hard to belive) lol

 

i have tried switching around my pci cards in my mb. i have only one free pci slot atm though. (the pci slot beside the agp slot is free)

 

my current system specs are:

 

2ghz athlon xp

asus a7x8x mboard

windows xp w/ sp1

1gb pc2700 ddr ram

120gb 7200 rpm and 250gb 7200 rpm drives

4x dvd+-rw

48x cdrw

billion pci isdn modem

technotrends skystar dvb-s video capture card

hauppage wintv nova-t dvb-t video capture card

creative soundlabs soundcard

 

i have had the problem with my computer restarting itself ever since i first built it up, just over 1 year ago. however the problem has gotten gradually worse up-until now.

so, if anyone has any suggestions on how i can sort out these problems it would be greatly appreciated =)

thanks

After 6months of grueling poverty and laziness I finally got my ass up and

went to the store for more ram. it's amazing what an extra 128m of ram will do.

With 196total my box feels like the lean mean machine i always pretended it was :P

Once again i'm telling you guys inane information(see my mp3 post) because my girlfriend

just stares at me funny when i tell her an begin drooling myself.

have fun

Hey, I'm Dave (aliased as Quirix). Still running XP, got my IDE drive on order so I hope to be running a linux distro soon...

 

Had Redhat 9 running when i had my old PC with IDE drives, but upgraded to SATA since then and i got confused and thought the console was very warped but when i install i look forward to learning linux :-)

 

Aspiring to be a Linux user, rather than a buggy sneaky lying Microsoft system user lol
