Greetings to All,

I'm having a problem to conduct a test for bandwidth.Does any one have any good testing tool for bandwidth testing and other newtwork utility which may help to test delay traffic or such.

what kind of bandwidth? LAN speed or WAN? on smaller links (and often on larger ones too) i'd just pull any old file across it to stress the link. for internet stuff i tend to wget a kernel tarball from kernel.org. if you're trying to pinpoint a delay, i find mtr to be a great traceroute replacement, nice and informative within a console. tcptrack is handy to see live ip transfer speeds within a system too.

you can have a look at it..

Or else just traffic wise there is a facility in panel to measure network interface traffic.

panel? what panel... when giving advice to others be careful what you say to ensure it makes sense and is specific enough.
