Need to set up an experiment for my Stats class, I've decided I'll compare the real-world differences between 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n (as well as perhaps a wired connection at 10mbps, 10/100 and gigabit, maybe even addressing the difference between half- and full-duplex). The only changes will be made in the network hardware settings- it's the same computers, the same NICs, and the same routers/switches/access points in all cases, with firmware enabling and disabling the different modes.
The plan is to copy the same files over the network multiples times (both large and small files), comparing average bandwidth for the duration of the copy, as well as network-related latency. I know that C++ has a header file (ctime.h?) with a stopwatch function, but I'd prefer to stick to a batch file for the sake of giving my professor an easy-to-follow printout of the source code.
Any help is greatly appreciated, can probably even throw a few bucks via PayPal at a clean implementation.
