Hi,

I want to know is it possible to check Internet speed directly in the cisco router thru any command or activating any service in the cisco router?

There are number of questions and confusions regarding internet speed.As it is seeen most of the times internet speed offer by ISP is different as compared to clients.and Clients most oftenly not satisfied with internet speed

The problem is that our ISP has given us 100MB leaased line.But when we deployed in production network the speed is same as DSL.We have reported this issue to ISP they then carried out Iperf test by connecting laptop directly with the ISP router.They have tested the speed and it shows  about 94-96 Mbps and argu that it is up to the mark and there is problem at your side(i.e our internal network).

Now our internal network has cisco 1841 router connected directly to ISP 3825 cisco router.Our router has minimum configuration as required to pass traffic out and in.Our internal 1841 router is connected to switch to which different clients are connected.We have performed some online tests using different speed checking websites and also perform real time tests by uploading and downloading files.The speed is much low as compared to 100Mbps and it is nearly or slightly higher then as DSL connection.

Now plz help us how can we check internet speed in the specified scenario?

Is there any command or service available in cisco router to check internet speed as we want to check ISP connection speed directly thru 1841 router?

what about authenticity of online speed checking websites?

Any specialize software/tool you recommend to check Internet speed in specified scenario?
