(don't remember the name) that runs on both ends such that you tell one
end to source x bytes of data and the other end to sink and measure
thruput. If I stumble upon the name, I'll repost.<div><span class="e" id="q_106e0b57a38758f2_1"><br>

Good morning:<br><br>Let's say I've got two Dell 1800 servers and each one of these servers<br>has dual gigabit Ethernet connections. The first connection on each<br>server is connected to the corporate network at 100MB. The second
<br>connection is a cross-over between the two machines running at 1GB. One<br>machine is running Fedora Core 3 and the other is running Redhat<br>Enterprise Linux 3.<br><br>I need to stress test and performance test this configuration by
<br>continuously moving large files back and forth under various processor<br>loads for a given length of time and be able to show the results when<br>completed.<br><br>What are the best practices for the situation? Is there open source
<br>software out there to accomplish this or do I need to write something?<br>I can think of a couple of shell script configurations to do this but<br>I'd rather not reinvent the wheel if I don't have to.<br><br>Thanks,<br>
