Dear all,
I am setting up a new Ethernet network at home, I am going to have a good 100 Mbps internet connection (optic fiber) with a modem that have a gigabit ethernet card.
I would like to to measure the speed of data transmission between several servers that are going to be connected to the new modem (box) via some Ethernet cable, therefore one of my questions is:
What kind of software tool do you recommend to measure the performance of a local Network?
Does the cable can make a difference? Should I purchase a certain type of cable?
Thanks for any recommendations or pointing some quality documentation about optimizing the speed of a local network
Many thanks for your help and keep up the good work!
