Regarding upload/Download speeds

Postby vasavi » Mon Dec 05, 2005 12:20 pm

Hi all,

I am doing available bandwidth module. I want to find the

upload/downloads speeds of the link. I searched in the net.

I got only the links where they are providing the software

for upload/download speeds, through which we can get the

results. "I want to know how those people calculated the

upload/download speeds". Please suggest me the

method/alogorithm/procedure to calculate the

upload/download speeds.


Thanx in advance,
vasavi.

What's with all the cross-posting ?

I imagine the majority of the calculations are just the simple
bytes/time calculation and they ignore the overhead involved
in the tranmission. So it's just the number of bytes divided
by the length of time, but usually it's given in kilobits per
second (Kbs or Kb/s).

You are kidding right????

Size of file in bits / Time to download in seconds = bits per second then
divide by 1024 to get KB/s

NOTE: +/- Overhead....
