How do I check ISP bandwidth ?

[dwisidagama]

Hello,

I'm using a 2600 router. I don't think I'm getting the expected bandwidth from my ISP's. How can I check the bandwidth of a line during a specified time.

Also, in a FR circuit, how can I check the current CIR?

Any simple math that I can do to find out these values?

With much thanx

Only option to test bandwidth is to download something.

Try to download about 5-10 files at the same time, with big size.

The real speed you will see in 5-10 minutes...

If you start to download more files, and the speed decreases on all early downloads, then you got the speed limit.

About CIR - ask the ISP.

depending on the LMI type you might be able to see what CIR is configured in their Frame Switch. Use the show frame map command and look for a BW value that is your CIR. Lastly normally you can call a number for your provider and given a cricuit id they can tell you the configured port speed CIR, BC and BE. If you are concerned about the port speed you can alsochec how the CSU/DSU is configred. Look for the number of timeslots it is configured to use.
