Well, I did a "delayroute" awk script that used traceroute: a similar approach that turned its frequency of probing up when things fell below some normal value would do nicely, and tell tek where the problem was as seen from your site. --dave On 12/11/2014 01:46 PM, Lennart Sorensen wrote:

Most of the time this Teksaavy connection is fine, but on occasion it slows to the point of being unusable. Can anyone suggest a program that will log connection speed? A scrolling graph and ascii record would be perfect. Connection speed to where though?
You would have to do something that talks to a system somewhere else and measures the current speed between those two places. Hopefully you can pick something where your connection locally is the slowest link and hence the one measured.
There are lots of programs listed in response to a Google search, such as this one: http://dynacont.net/documentation/linux/network_monitoring/
But it would greatly help to hear what others in this group recommend. I'm running Linux Mint.
