The Bandwidth test project the files client.java and server.

java were created to measure the bandwidth in units of time (bytes per Millisecond) by sending and receiving multiple byte packets that increased in size in a Ping-Pong fashion between two machines. An specific machine could be designated as the receiving machine involved in the testing process could by entering its specific IP address at run time. The results of the test were then put in graph form to demonstrate the difference in the theoretical expectations of bandwidth and the actual real life achievable bandwidth. As seen in the spike created at 1024 Bytes in the graph it is more efficient to send larger packets in each unit of time.
