Network speed per connection
Hi.
I created a small command to monitor my network speed with conky:
netstat -taupe | grep ESTABLISHED | tr -s " " | sed "s|\(\S*\)\s\(\S*\)\s\(\S*\)\s\S*:\(\S*\)\s\(\S*\)\s\(\S*\)\s\(\S*\)\s\(\S*\)\s\(\S*\)|\2 \3 :\4 \5 \9|" | column -t | sort -r
0 0 :52725 channel27.01.0:www-http 27750/pidgin
0 0 :41564 mirrors2.kernel.org:ftp 28978/wget
0 0 :39694 fritz.box:1012 27791/ffgtk
0 0 :32945 mirrors2.kernel.o:57747 28978/wget
The problem is that my 600k wget connection is always shown with 0k. Is there a better working solution for that?
Thanks in advance.
Andreas
You would probably have to cross reference the same info iftop uses with the information from netstat to make the correspondence data stream <-> program. Mind you that any program can have a few instances downloading/uploading data so you may have to sum them.

Tool for Airport network statistics per connected device ?
I'm in search of a tool that would help me identify network traffic load per connected device to my Airport network.
My network is made of
* WiFi infra: one main Airport Extreme base station connected thru Ethernet to my SP's cable-modem + 2 Airport Express as relays, all interconnected with WDS.
* WiFi clients : 2 Macs + 2 PCs + 1 printer + 1 WiFi PDA-Phone, all connected thru WiFi only
* I suspect misuse by one of the Macs or PCs (or alien ?) of WiFi network as sometimes network performance is really low, impacting all end-points' network performance
* ideal tool could be based on SNMP stats of Ethernet/TCP/UDP/ports & packets per connected device. Should cover each Airport Express relay, the main Airport Extreme, possibly the cable-modem, and bring help for root cause analysis to go up the chain to faulty client and application (at least port/protocol)
any idea of such kind of tool (preferably run on Mac OS X)
thx in advanceI apologize for taking up your time. I had bought this to use with my PS3 (60GB Launch model with 802.11b) but hadn't used the PS3 in the equation yet. I kind of gave up on the project for awhile and unplugged the Express. Just for giggles I plugged it in later and cabled it up to the PS3 for the first time. Worked perfectly. Now my PS3 downloads are flying.
I'm not sure what solved the problem but it is working great now! Thanks again for the help. -
Slow network speed after connecting to routers and switch
Hello
The following is my test setup I have running at my house for some practice and leaning
Some reason the PC1 which is a laptop is getting very horrid internet / download speeds, and I am trying to narrow down why.
Example, on my main desktop that is connected right to the Arris Cable modem / router I get around 34Mbps down. But the laptop that is connected in the topology above, is getting 0.06 Mbps down
I am not sure if there are settings that need to be checked on the routers or what could cause this, I am figuring the traffic is bogging at some place.
ThanksUpdate on some things I have tried
As I am not sure the cause, I have been reading and trying different things, last thing was to set the interfaces to Duplex Full
I did this on both the Ethernet ports on the routers, and both of the Fast Ethernet ports being used on the switch, but has not changed the speed that PC1 is getting.
Also turned on CEF on both routers -
In case any Wi-FI is available and if I choose not to join wi-fi, on iPhone 5 it does not connect to my 3G cellular data network but it connects to 2G data network forcing me to lower speeds in Wi-Fi enabled areas.
This might help

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Network Speed Required with VPN
Hi,
I have a customer, he has open an office outside the main company,
Only 2-3 user (with all authorization access to B.one) will be connected with VPN.
I would like to Know how is the network speed required to use b.one with VPN connections.
Thanks for your cooperation,Hello
There's no specific definition for VPN.
What we recommend based on the field experience is:
_Terminal server_
Bandwidth per user: 20 - 40 Kb
_Citrix_
Bandwidth per user: 5 - 20 Kb
Please take these numbers as a recommendation/guideline and not as minimum requirements.

How can I check my network speed (LAN) ?
I'm just copying a 1.7 GB file over Gbit Ethernet to a NAS, and it takes about 10 minutes. Is that OK? And how can I check if it is?You would need an accurate time measurement.
About 10 minutes doesn't cut it.
1.7 gigabytes divided by 10 minutes equals 0.17 gigabytes per minute
0.17 gigabytes per minute divided by 60 equals 0.0028 gigabytes per second
0.0028 gigabytes per second times 8 equals 0.02267 gigabits per second
0.02267 gigabits per second multiplied by 1000 equals 22.67 megabits per second.
Was there a wireless connection in that transfer?
You can't read and write data from a hard drive at gigabit LAN speeds.
The hard drive read and write speeds are the limiting factor.
If the copy program wasn't designed to double buffer the data the process is.
Read data from source disk which includes the latency to find the data on the disk.
Transmit the data to the target disk.
Write the data to the target disk including the latency to find the available space on the target disk.
Acknowledge receipt of the data by the target disk back to the source disk.
Repeat until all of the data has been transferred.
The amount of data transferred each time was determined when the copy program was written.
It could be as little as one disk sector which is probably 512 bytes. -
Network speed affected by large file copy operations. Also, why intermittent network outages?
Hi
I have a couple of issues on our company network.
The first is thate a single large file copy imapcts the entire network and dramatically reduces network speed and the second is that there are periodic outages where file open/close/save operations may appear to hang, and also where programs that rely on
network connectivity e.g. email, appear to hang. It is as though the PC loses it's connection to the network, but the status of the network icon does not change. For the second issue if we wait the program will respond but the wait period can be up to 1min.
The downside of this is that this affects Access databases on our server so that when an 'outage' occurs the Access client cannot recover and hangs permamnently.
We have a Windows Active Directory domain that comprises Windows 2003 R2 (soon to be decommissioned), Windows Server 2008 Standard and Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard domain controllers. There are two member servers: A file server running Windows 2008 Storage
Server and a remote access server (which also runs WSUS) running Windows Server 2012 Standard. The clients comprise about 35 Win7 PC's and 1 Vista PC.
When I copy or move a large file from the 2008 Storage Server to my Win7 client other staff experience massive slowdowns when accessing the network. Recently I was moving several files from the Storage Server to my local drive. The files comprised pairs
(e.g. folo76t5.pmm and folo76t5.pmi), one of which is less than 1MB and the other varies between 1.5 - 1.9GB. I was moving two files at a time so the total file size for each operation was just under 2GB.
While the file move operation was taking place a colleague was trying to open a 36k Excel file. After waiting 3mins he asked me for help. I did some tests and noticed that when I was not copying large files he could open the Excel file immediately. When
I started copying more data from the Storage Server to my local drive it took several minutes before his PC could open the Excel file.
I also noticed on my Win7 client that our email client (Pegasus Mail), which was the only application I had open at the time would hang when the move operation was started and it would take at least a minute for it to start responding.
Ordinarlily we work with many files
Anyone have any suggestions, please? This is something that is affecting all clients. I can't carry out file maintenance on large files during normal work hours if network speed is going to be so badly impacted.
I'm still working on the intermittent network outages (the second issue), but if anyone has any suggestions about what may be causing this I would be grateful if you could share them.
ThanksWhat have you checked for resource usage during one of these copies of a large file?
At a minimum I would check Task Manager>Resource Monitor. In particular check the disk and network usage. Also, look at RAM and CPU while the copy is taking place.
What RAID level is there on the file server?
There are many possible areas that could be causing your problem(s). And it could be more than one thing. Start by checking these things. And go from there.
Hi, JohnB352
Thanks for the suggestions. I have monitored the server and can see that the memory is nearly maxed out with a lot of hard faults (varies between several hundred to several thousand), recorded during normal usage. The Disk and CPU seem normal.
I'm going to replace the RAM and double it up to 12GB.
Thanks! This may help with some other issues we are having. I'll post back after it has been done.
[Edit]
Forgot to mention: there are 6 drives in the server. 2 for the OS (Mirrored RAID 1) and 4 for the data (Striped RAID 5). -
Hello,
I have a first generation time capsule running 802.11n (b/g compatable) and the airport expresse's are the newer 5ghz models. I have 3 airport express's and I have the range that I need. I can run the time capsule using 802.11n 5ghz, but I loose the range and can't connect to all of the airport express's. My computers and mobile devices run 802.11n. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to increase the network speed. Would the new airport extreme fix the problem?
Thank youUnfortunately, you are experiencing one of the downsides to 5 GHz. That's because the higher frequency 5 GHz signals are much weaker than 2.4 GHz signals.
After all, you always have to give up something to gain something else. In the case of 5 GHz, you gain potential speed but in return, you must give up penetration power and distance capability.
In order to work well, 5 GHz signals need to almost have a line-of-sight relationship between devices. Unless you can achieve this, you will do much better to leave the Time Capsule running at the 802.11n (b/g compatible) 2.4 GHz Radio Mode and allow the Express devices to "extend" that network.
As for the location of the AirPort Express devices in an exended network, that is critical for best performance. That's because the Express can only "extend" the quality and bandwidth of the signal that it receives. Post back if you need a few more tips on how to find the best location for the AirPort Express devices.
Would the new airport extreme fix the problem?
Unfortunately, no. -
I am desperate!! slow choppy network speeds (not actual inability to cnnct)
I have a 13" macbook air that has the following problem: I can connect to wifi networks (including at home WPA and also tried WPA2 settings) but even though I may get proper speed at first, I soon lose that and it becomes much slower and choppy (if I open activity monitor I can see the speed going up and down like crazy...). My internet speed at home is 12mpbs set by my provider. When I perform speed tests (vis speedtest.net or downloading files from other speed test sites) on my windows PC that is also on this network I get the full download speed. However with this MAC while I initially did get the full speed, it is now down to an average of 3-5mbps and the activity monitor, again, shows choppy behavior so it will be at 8 then at zero almost and then up and down again but never near the full speed. I tried to connect to other networks and I have the same problem - once this happens it stays. I tried removing the airport connection in network preferences and adding it again it does not help.
I TALKED TO APPLE AND HAD MY COMPUTER TESTED BY THEM - they didn't find any hardware issues (they said it was fine - but it isn't) but they still replaced the airport hardware in the computer - both the chip and the antenna (which meant replacing the entire screen). I brought the computer home, ran a speed test and everything was fine. I thought GREAT but then something happened and the problem returned. What I did (which I think was unrelated) was connect via SMB to a PC at home and I tried to stream a movie file. I noticed it kept 'pausing' so I opened up activity monitor again and to my HORROR I saw the choppy wave with network speed very inconsistent going up and down like crazy... I tried connecting to my slingox using the sling web access after disconnecting from my home PC but got partial speed and lots of drops too. I tried the speed test again multiple times, nothing seems to work.
SO I don't know what to do at this point. I have 10.6.6 running. I heard something about a firmware update but I am new to mac so not sure how to even do that or what else I can do to solve this problem or what is causing it. BTW - logging in now from the guest account still does not fix the issues and they remain the same.
I am desperately looking for help!!
Thanks a lot!Have you been able to reproduce your problems on other wireless networks other than at your house? It appears you are saying that this occurs on all wireless, but I'm not sure from your comment. If it's only at home, it would appear to be a compatibility issue between your wireless access point and the Macbook Air, which isn't uncommon. Sometimes a firmware upgrade to the access point can fix it, sometimes it might require switching to a different brand of access point. It would be great if you could borrow (or buy and return) a different access point/router to test. An Apple airport would be the best to use of course. Not the easiest solution, but lets you help rule out a hardware issue with your air.
My isp provides 15mbps but my wireless devices such as my iphone, ipad, laptop usually only get 6.5-8 mbps when testing speeds to the internet. I don't expect it to be as good as the wired due to interference, signal, etc. I don't get the choppy behavior however. Firware updates from Apple will appear in the same manner as standard software updates. If there is one available for your system it should appear when you check for software updates. That being said, I believe you can also manually download them from the Apple site. -

You can use the tools like Resource Monitor and Network Monitor.
Resource Monitor is a tool that you can use to monitor the usage of CPU, hard disk, network, and memory in real time. You can open it by clicking the
Start button. In the search box, type Resource Monitor, and then, in the list of results, click
Resource Monitor. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Meanwhile, I think it is proper to dig the networking issue on the Windows Server forum via the below link.

Standard local network speed test?
I recently setup up a dual-band (dedicated n, dedicated g) wireless network, and I think I am having some issues with throughput (qualitative observation). So I started trying to find a good metric for performance of the wireless systems. Note, I am talking here about the local wireless (Airport devices between home computers), not the connected internet speed (cable, DSL, fiber).
I see a lot of people copying files and timing the transfer. Is this the best there is? From what I've read, ping isn't such a good metric for network throughput. You can watch the kb/s transfer report on copy, but that isn't exactly stable or indicative of general performance. Any other tools, programs, methods, etc.? Or should I just be timing file transfers?
Thanks!Yes, I know how to handle and suppress errors in LabView. I was mainly looking for a good example on a network speed test.
The test we have uses was written by one of our software guys, it uses two computers in a client-server arrangement and stops and displays an error message when the client computer loses connection to the server. Regardless of the reasoning I have given the programmer refuses to change it because he wrote the test for him and that's how he wants it.
I want a program that can use one computer with two network cards.
It will send a data stream out one NIC, through the UUT, and back in the other NIC.
Where it Will be checked for errors and dropped packets, and sent back through the UUT.
A continuous throughput speed measurment will also be logged along with errors, dropped packets, and retries.
I have never used any of the LV networking, tcp, etc VI's and was hoping someone had done this before because I do not have time to start from scratch. -
Looking for Third Party VPN W/O Significant Network Speed Hit
As the title indicates, I am looking for a VPN app (Windows) which will not significantly ding my network speed. I have FiOS (75/35). I understand there is normally a speed drop while connected to a VPN but dropping from 75Mbps to 1.5Mbps is unacceptable. I have only tested Spotflux so any other suggestions would be appreciated.
To clarify, any app would have to be compatible with PeerBlock. I do not care about advertising as Ad Block Plus takes care of that. As for speed, on average, I would expect no less than 20-30Mbps. Also, I want the ability to choose my own servers (whether foreign or domestic).Check out https://www.ipvanish.com
I'm on a mac, but the windows app works well too. While connected to one of the Miami servers, which are in the same state as me, I can often get nearly my full 75 Mbps down when using openvpn (udp). IPVanish has servers around the world, some have better speeds than others. Your speed will depend on a few factors, distance from server being used, server load, etc. For best results I'd suggest using one of the "A" servers, example mia-a01, lon-a02, nrt-a01, etc. -
Network speed WAY down for internet - help??
I have 3 airport extreme's set up as a WDN. It all works great. Internet is fast through a cable modem attached to the main stations WAN port.
It seems though that when "certain" users are getting into heavy internet traffic, seemingly large continuous downloads, the REST of the network is slowing down. The internet slows down to a CRAWL, so much so that eventually safari brings up the "network troublshooting" thing.
What is perplexing about this is that when I try to remote desktop to another machine on the LAN, THIS TOO has slowed to a crawl! There are no other LAN transfers or interactions between machines going on, ONLY NAT/DHCP net access.
I KNOW it is other users, because when I disconnect the internet, the network speed instantly goes back to super fast, remote desktop works great etc, then it seems somebody is starting their download again (ha ha that I just disconnected) and suddenly it's crawling. This doesn't seem right, not with only 3 - 5 users on a 3 base station system, and a 1Mb/s internet cable connection.... does it? At least, if the internet is slowing down, other LAN traffic (non internet related) should not right?? This is the part that has got me confused.
Also is there any software out there that will let me see stats from the main station in regards to:
- DHCP LAN assignments
- and upload / download traffic of each of those LAN addresses and other information.
Thanks,
Miklos.
PS Just to be clear when the internet is extremely slow it is not one particular site - email doesn't work, and the same site, reloaded again and again does not load - the rest of the network is simultaneously slow - I disconnect the internet (log off via simple software app supplied by the ISP) and within 5 - 10 seconds, network speed is visibly up - things start loading properly, and the internet - the same site, starts to load very fast.
My dilemma is how can the internet usage slow the REST of the network, when it's a very fast system! Another point: I am NOT resetting the base stations, they are remaining online and nobody is getting bumped off, I'm only disconnecting the internet feed that's ALL, so it's not like they're getting kicked off and then network speed is resuming, they are still in effect logged on to the network, they just can't access the internet.Did you run it in store? If so, the wireless instore is notoriously bogged down/slow with all the things connected to it.
