Hi,
This is interesting. I'd like to reproduce the Ethernet speed tests.
Do you have the exact command lines?
Sure. You'll need two machines, on being the board. Both need to be in the same 100 or 1000 MBit/s LAN.
On the receiver's end, run:
netcat -l 8000 > /dev/null
This will listen for incoming data on a TCP socket on port 8000. Then, given the receiver's IP address, run the following command on the sender's end:
dd if=/dev/zero bs=1024k count=256 > /dev/tcp/<RECEIVER IP>/8000
Cool. You might also want to take a look at 'netperf', a small yet powerful tool. At least until 2006(when I last used it) it was a piece of cake to use.
