There are a LOT of variables that will affect actual throughput on your network. A good, detailed read is available here: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Throughput" rel="ugc">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Throughput</a><br />
<br />
That can help explain theoretical throughput versus measured or sustained throughput on any given network.

I agree with professionalcomputersoluti<wbr />ons... 800mbps is pretty darn good taking into consideration tcp overhead and the other variables described.<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
We have a full gigabit network (GB NIC’s, GB switches, etc…) I was performing some network testing using LAN Speed Test, and found that on average we are getting 400-800mbps ‘Read’ speed across the network. Obviously the 400mbps is low but is 800mbps average, or should we be getting closer to the 1000mbps? Also, are there any tools that you would recommend for determining where the bottleneck could be? Thanks.

Average mbps on Gigabit Network

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

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).
