[PLUG] Bandwidth tester

[Adam Preset <preset@swarthmore.edu>]

Anyone seen a client bandwidth tester like this

	http://www.info-techs.com/speedtest.html

done under open source?  I could reproduce their ASP methods with PHP, but
the content is copyright MSN.  That's the content, not the idea.  If the
general feeling is that it would be all right to redevelop this with PHP,
then I would just do that.

This would be a testing tool for clients who have nothing more than a
browser -- okay, a computer, too -- to see how much internal bandwidth
they have available within our site.  Ideally, we'd then share this
with a couple of our peer schools and allow users at any site to do a
point-to-point bandwidth test.

Any solutions that are platform specific or require specific client
software wouldn't work for us.  I wonder if any of you folks who work
for ISPs might now already have a similar tool.
