<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We as a Dutch network provider deliver also ATM
lines and other big internet pipes for several big company's over
here.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>At the moment we are looking for a good badwidth
test within your network to test the line and to see if the customer gets what
he has asked/paid for. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>sometimes it happens we deliver a big ATM line (for
instance) and after a couple of hours the customer complains about the actual
line rate.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>These problems has to be tested at the point of
delivery so that the customer and ourselves are convinced the right line is
configured in the ATM backbone. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The test has to be done in such a way that a full
T1 can be pulled to the max.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What kind of bandwidth tests do other people on the
list use for these big lines?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Are there any documents written about such kind of
tests?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Please let me know.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Regards,</FONT></DIV>
