by the adapter is reported in megabits per second in the Avg. Send and
Avg. Receive fields of the window.
In a properly configured network, the average send and receive values
should be roughly the same. However, widely divergent values, such as
the average received being only half the average sent, could indicate a
network configuration problem, such as a duplex mode mismatch.
To perform a throughput test, do the following:
1. Specify a network driver where the test file will be copied to and
retrieved from. There are two ways you can specify the network driver:
ˆ Use the Drive pull-down menu to select a network drive, or
ˆ Specify the network drive by entering in the UNC Path field its
Universal Naming Convention (UNC) (for example,
“\\<systemname>\drive”).
2. Using the File Size parameter, select the size of the test file. The range
is 1 to 11 megabytes. The default is 3 megabytes.
3. Click Start.
The utility creates the test file on the local hard disk and sends it to the
remote network node. Once the file has been stored on the remote
device, the test copies it back again onto the local hard disk. The file is
transferred a total of three times. During the test, the Avg. Send and
Avg. Receive statistics are updated to reflect the speed in megabits
per second at which the file is sent and received by the network
adapter card.
Once the test is complete, the file is deleted from the local hard disk
and the remote network drive.
