7.16 Advanced Tools
Through the advanced tools page, it is possible to run tests to verify network connectivity and
the achievable throughput on a network path. As shown in Figure 7.18, network connectivity can
be tested by issuing a “Ping Test” towards a specific destination. Additionally, the “Bandwidth
Test” tool generates a stream of packets at a specified rate to test the available network path
throughput.

In order to run a Ping or a Bandwidth Test, write the destination IP in the proper window and
click run. Bandwidth Test is performed using 4 Mb/s UDP traffic. Both tests can be run on top of
a loaded network to test operational performances, or on top of an unloaded network to test
installed capacity.

Not available in Brazil.

Please note that the achievable rate computation is cpu-intensive and only indicative. Results may be not accurate.
Usually the bandwidth tests tend to underestimate the real throughput of the link.
