I can measure my Internet pipe using a couple sites on the Internet, but that's a composite rating, meaning it doesn't differentiate between the parts of the pipeline. I would like to know which piece of my pipeline is the limiting factor. Is my pipe from my Internet provider ever saturated, or is my cable modem or router limiting my overall speed? Any tools out there that are freely available or low-cost that will clarify this? I am currently running Windows 7 on my laptop, though I have been using FreeBSD since 1.0.1.5 (or something near there). I will soon have another drive and be running FreeBSD 10. --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast! Antivirus protection is active. http://www.avast.com
