[ILUG] A bottle in the neck

[Baldwin_James at emc.com]

Lads and Ladders(to be P.C.),

I think this Q may have arose previously on ILUG, but here goes;

Q 1.0)   How can one determine the bandwidth of one's connection to the net
from either home/work 
(probably indifferent I am sure - unless someone found out how to
scare-tactic a Cisco 6500!)

Q 1.01)  And also, is it possible to find out if a bottle-neck has been
imposed at a certain stage of the connection? (i.e. thru proxy or router?)
(maybe work it out via certain hops while montoring latency/bandwidth
constantly???)

Clear as mud?

Cheers,
J.
