TTCP
nmap, ttcp, netstat, ipconfig all very useful. ping, too.
Yeah, so anyway, this ttcp thing; you set up transmitter and a receiver on the two machines you want to monitor. read about it here.
excerpt from that link:
Starting A PCATTCP Transmitter
To start the PCATTCP transmitter, go to the Command Prompt and then change to the folder containing the PCATTCP.EXE application. Enter the following command:
C:> pcattcp -t 172.16.1.10The "-t" command-line option starts the PCATTCP program as a transmitter. You must enter the IP address of the platform hosting the PCATTCP receiver after the "-t" command-line parameter.
As soon as you start the PCATTCP transmitter, the test data transfer begins. After the transfer is complete, both the PCATTCP transmitter and receiver will display performance information and then exit. Here is an illustration of what would be displayed:
