How to test the internet connection speed without putting any load and allocating bandwidth

Asked by alkhaleej in Network Routers, Internet Service Providers (ISP), Cisco PIX Firewall

Dear Experts

We do have a 10 MB internet connectivity, the speed is ok,  I am monitoring the link using cacti and netflow.
 ISP----10 MB Link-------Cisco 3745 Router----Switch ----Firewall 525----DMZ Switch- ISA---- LAN

Our bandwidth is under utilized, hence our average consumption is around 5 MB, half of our allocated bandwidth is not consumed. Our management thinks the ISP is not providing is the allocated bandwidth. But this is not true. When ever I tried to download lot of stuff we do reach the allocated speed.  My problem is I can't keep on downloading the things to reach the specified 10 MB. Is there is any way to figure out the allocated bandwidth at any given amount of time without putting any load on the link. I tired plenty of speed test web sites which proved to be inaccurate.

My second question is can I distribute the allocated 10 MB bandwidth for different services, like for download I want to assign 2 MB, exchange server 3 MB, browsing 4 MB, VPN  connectivity 1 MB. Can i achive this by using my existing  infrastucure like Cisco 3745 Router or a PIX 525 7.0.6.

Cheers

Khaleej
