&gt; network connection's speed between two hosts<br />
<br />
which metric are you referring to? the physical link speed (Mbps) or data transfer speed (MB/s)?<br />
<br />
however, you might be interested in some free utilities here.<br />

Simple but nice tool, oloap88!<br />
Too bad it can't test an environment where file and printer sharing is disabled.

yes, as you said is quite simple... anyway googleing lan sped test you can find something more professional, maybe not freeware, if you need so...

Hello,<br />
<br />
I administer several Windows servers and sometimes I need to know the network connection's speed between two hosts (e.g. a DB server and a Backup Storage server). Is there any portable app (or client/server app) that is able to measure this?<br />
I was trying to search on google but all I get is websites that measure my internet connection speed.<br />
<br />
<br />
Best Regards,<br />

Network capacity between two endpoints

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.

Windows Networking

Network analysis is the process of identifying and remediating the processes and systems within a network, including performance, connectivity and security. The process is performed through the use of tools developed for monitoring and analyzing network activity. Network problems that involve finding an optimal way of doing something are studied under the name combinatorial optimization. Examples include network flow, shortest path problem, transport problem, transshipment problem, location problem, matching problem, assignment problem, packing problem, routing problem, Critical Path Analysis and PERT (Program Evaluation & Review Technique).
