bandwidth is a benchmark to estimate the memory bandwidth of a system, including main memory, L1 and L2 caches, and framebuffer memory. [edit]
Yesterday, on WebWorkerDaily, I wrote about Measurement Lab. It's a partly Google-backed initiative to give Internet users and researchers free measurement tools that can help quantify what kinds of service they’re getting from ISPs, and much more. One of its goals is to help identify instances where ISPs are throttling bandwidth, and it collects a number of free, quick diagnostic tools for making these determinations. This project has a number of backers, and strikes me as a perfect opportunity for the open source community to contribute tools and diagnostic applications to the effort.
I am using a mac and am interested in finding applications that can monitor my wireless network to track the bandwidth speeds. I would also like to receive notifications if the bandwidth falls below a certain threshold and some way to optimize my bandwidth throughput.
Right now I have to periodically power down my linksys WRT54G router couple of times each week because it starts to slow down after a few days of continuous usage. Restarting the router 'resets' the bandwidth as well.
I use a mac and have cable broadband from Comcast.
Suggestions/Help would be really great!
Thanks.
Just polling to determine if bandwidth pricing is an obstacle for many of you and your organizations?
If you are wanting more bandwidth and great connectivity for $3.99/Mbps (min 10), visit www.UberBandwidth.com.
You can also contact me. I work for this company. I will hook you up.
