Simple network performance test
When I was searching on the internet for a simple way to test network speed if found this site. Here I found a command how I can test the netwerk speed using ftp combined with dd for Linux. The command is:
ftp> put "|dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=1000" /dev/null
The guy used a count of 100, I perfer a count of 1000 so 1 GB is send over to the ftp server. This give a reliable result
