Are there any tools for testing network stability and such for a LOCAL network? Ie, a network that has nothing to do with the internet whatsoever.
I suspect me skimping on cables (UTP in cable lists ..) had a quite negative impact on my network performance, but I can't really find a good tool to verify this...
Sure, I can ftp files back and forth all day, or try to ping a machine and hope I get lucky with the packetloss, but there has got to be a better way?
I'm looking for something where I can set up for example a listener on one machine, tell it to expect 30038328 UDP packets and 320439 TCP packets, then set up the sender on another machine and let it rip... And obviously generate some sort of report on how many packets got through okay, how many were damaged (UDP) and how many times they were resent (TCP)...
Any ideas? (except "code one yourself!")
