| | The Throughput Tool
You can use Throughput for quantitatively testing data connections between your computer and a remote system.
Throughput is a diagnostic tool that lets you test the data speed on a connection with a remote host. It sends a specified number of IP packets to the remote host and calculates the average bits per second sent over the communications link.
For each data packet sent, the results window shows:
- The number of packets sent and the number received by the remote host
- The time it took (in milliseconds)
- The bits per second (which is the throughput)
Reported speed will vary depending on the system you're checking and the size of the data packets.
