hi all,
I'm after some advice on how to 'stress test' a newly installed LAN.
We've refurbed our house, running cat6 all over the place. I've now terminated the cables into patch panels and RJ45 modules, continuity tested the terminations, and installed a Zyxel 24 port switch. Never done this before. How do i test that we've got a good connection on the network, no dropped packets, good speed, etc. without using the really expensive network testing gear like Fluke MS2-KIT. Is there some LAN stress test software that someone can recommend.
