title: how do i measure throughput / bandwidth with command line or batch file
body: <p>it scares me to ask a question here without a working code to present for examination. I'm sorry to say I can't find any examples to try here or in Google. </p>
  
  <p>Have you thoroughly searched for an answer before asking your question?
  *Yes</p>
  
  <p>Sharing your research helps everyone.
  *Can't find even one example to try or share.</p>
  
  <p>This demonstrates that you’ve taken the time to try to help yourself, it saves us from reiterating obvious answers, and above all, it helps you get a more specific and relevant answer!
  *i started researching this yesterday morning and stopped at 11:00 at night and started again this morning. Before i got desperate and asked the question officially.</p>
  
  <p>I've found over a dozen other throughput questions with no answer or (duplicate) or "don't ask stupid questions responses"</p>
  
  <p>So that said please don't ban me for this seemingly unanswerable question.</p>
  
  <p>I need the command or a short batch code for windows xp x86 family to find the throughput  or bandwidth of my lan (Local Area Network) PLEASE I'm not looking for ping. I know it exists in batch because i found one converted to exe but i couldn't open it to extract the bat file to examine it. 
  Basicly it sent and received a file and calculated the average of Bytes/time. It showed a running total in cmd window but had no pause so when the file was done the cmd window closed. Sadly it had no log either.
  If someone anyone can write a short bat, tell me the command line code for throughput, send me link to site with throughput bat examples or links to Google.com, howto.com, ask.com...ect and not mark my question with negative comments. I would be estatic. Thanks so much in advance for any helpful answer you give.</p>
  
  <p>Here's a bat that might help any who read this question.</p>
  
  <pre><code>@echo off
  MODE CON:COLS=15 LINES=10

  :input
  set /p input=    
  if %input% == %input% goto inputconfirm
  :inputconfirm
  echo ******************************************************************************************&gt;&gt;Helplog.txt
  echo.&gt;&gt;Helplog.txt
  echo ==%input%==&gt;&gt;Helplog.txt
