Hello
Do I want I need to know as knowing the bandwith real of a connection that it passes over bridge of two ports of switch cisco.
is there any statics that help me know the bandwidth of my device wireless.
SW-3550-FA 0/24--BRIDGE--FA 0/24 SW-3550.
is there a way of doing this ?
is there any tools to doing it?
Thanks.

OSI layers introduce overhead, so you will never see maximum bandwidth in data transfer. If you want to measure practical bandwidth - just copy huge file over, and see how fast it copies. Or generate flood traffic by using something like HPING. Check the interface counters (use "load-interval 30" on interface to get more timely results).
Wireless devices are a bit elusive in this matter, since air conditions (interference) can suddenly change, altering connectivity parameters.

There is a free tool that I have had good sucess with. it's called iperf and was initialy developed for linux but there is a pre-compiled version for windows.

You need to have the program installed on a device at each end of the link. For a windows install you just need to unpack, it doesn't modify the registry.
On one device run in server mode ( iperf -s ).
On the second device run in client mode, ( iperf -c
You may need to play arround with the client options especialy the -P option to make use of high bandwidth links.
