asked on
network speed between servers
Recently we have been seeing some slow response to requests and found that the network connectivity speed was one issue to address. Is there a way we can monitor the network speed between the servers.
We do not want to install any third party softwares. Any shell scripts / OS tools is what we are looking for.

you can check the switch port setting and the servers nics' settings. You may monitor switch ports stats for those servers and this depends on you switch capabilities

if you do scp between two servers then you can see the rate at which files are transferred. This gives you some idea about the speed between them. FTP also shows stats when using hash command
Netio from http://www.ars.de/ars/ars.nsf/docs/netio
does exactly this.
If will show you the transfer rate under several conditions (small/large packet, tcp/udp etc.).
Runs on Unix/Windows/VMS/DOS
Either TCP/IP, UDP/IP or NETBIOS

NETIO can be considered 3rd party, but it will show things like misconfigurations in adapters that would otherwise be hard to track (like misnegotiated auto configured interfaces or hard-set half/full duplex mismatches etc.)
Source code of the tool is available on the named site.

Hi,
You can use any of the below applications to check throughput;
Iperf dast.nlanr.net/Projects/Ip
ttcp www.pcausa.com/ Open-Source
Netperf www.netperf.org/ Open-Source
NetQoS www.netqos.com Propriety
Qcheck www.netiq.com/Qcheck/default.asp Propriety
simplenetsoftware simplenetsoftware.com Propriety
Bandwidth Meter www.bandwidth-meter.net Propriety
Personal recommendation is using either Iperf or QCheck.
