Thanks, Robert. The two systems are not on the same LAN. We connect over the internet. We had a line upgrade from 50Mbps to 100Mbps and I wanted to verify that were are getting close to that speed.<br><br>Clay

Hello:<br><br>Does anyone know what is the best way to test the ethernet line speed on a ISeries? I would like to verify that we are getting the correct speed. Preferably, I would like to test speed between two ISeries systems that we have (one located here and the other in a remote location). Thanks!

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.
