Hi all,
I am doing available bandwidth module. I want to find the
upload/downloads speeds of the link. I searched in the net.
I got only the links where they are providing the software
for upload/download speeds, through which we can get the
results. "I want to know how those people calculated the
upload/download speeds". Please suggest me the
method/alogorithm/procedure to calculate the
upload/download speeds.
Thanx in advance, vasavi.
What's with all the cross-posting ?
I imagine the majority of the calculations are just the simple bytes/time calculation and they ignore the overhead involved in the tranmission. So it's just the number of bytes divided by the length of time, but usually it's given in kilobits per second (Kbs or Kb/s).
You are kidding right????
Size of file in bits / Time to download in seconds = bits per second then divide by 1024 to get KB/s
NOTE: +/- Overhead....
