Hello: Is there a way to find out the network speed a cable user is working on and at his/her client side?, this is to minimize as much as possible any delay while accessing the network derived from the end user's NIC, thus, being able to get the correct conection speed at the end user's NIC configuration.
Thank you very much for your attention on this matter.

What would it matter, your application should be written for maximun throughput.
Delays are going to be in all the hops and that is variable. Micro$oft XP has something which restricts/reserves bandwidth if I recall correctly. Different cable providers have different upload speeds verses download speed so if that get saturated the download may not be running full out. Looking at the nic you could see 100 mips setting connected to a 1.5/3 mips service. Then you would have to know if system is doing something else streaming audio, updates, ... while you are trying to benchmark the speed. If user is connected to a router, it could be using bandwidth for another computer in the house.
