There are numerous web-services like
Speedtest.net
which allow users to simply open a web-browser and benchmark their
internet connections upload and download throughput with ease. However,
if you need something similar for your server which does not have an
graphical interface here are a few options to check network throughput
from terminal/console. One can simply check download speed by using
something like the command below at the terminal,
wget --output-document=/dev/null http://speedtest.wdc01.softlayer.com/downloads/test500.zip
But
for a thorough check with option for outputting beautiful shareable
badge like the one on the right, we will use the "Speedtest"
command-line utility as shown below.
