Hi all.
I am currently thinking about monitoring a network link (bandwidth, latency, packet drop). I have a centos server which is connected to providers network through a switch. How to test the link? Should I: - use ICMP to ping gateway and collect staistics of time/packet loss/etc. - use software like here: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-unix-windows-monitor-outgoing-bandwidth-l... (client/server) ? Is there an option to monitor bandwidth, latency, packet drop without installing additional software on gateway or external host?
Best regards, Rafał.
