How to test bandwidtch on private link?

[JazzGeek]

HI All

I have a private link with a 2610 cisco router on both ends.

Does anyone know how I would test the bandwidth between the two routers?

Thank you, S

Transfer a file from one end to the other and measure the download speed. Use MRTG. Look at the interface bit rate stat (sh int <int>).

Take your pick.

Thanks.

Any way that you know of to make the output readable in human format? I can transfer a FTP file, etc and test this, but could not find a way to tell what the bandwidth is.

Thanks

Transfer a file and use Netmeter to see what transfer rate you are getting.
