I'd like to measure the bandwidth usage of this program. What is the best way to do this? Should I write something into the app that can do this... if so, are there any useful libraries for this purpose? Or, should I maybe look into using a third party application... if so, can anyone here recommend a good one? With much respect, Marcus Back to top Maxim Yegorushkin Guest Posted: Fri Jul 29, 2005 7:41 am    Post subject: Re: Testing Bandwidth usage of an application Marcus wrote: Quote: I have a program that I wrote that connects to a remote server and recieves data at random intervals.

Why don't you just count the bytes sent/received over the wire and divide it on the time spent doing it?

Is there a specific library you could point me to?

Is there a specific library you could point me to? With std::strlen =) Sockets are pretty platform-dependent, but if you're using unix function "read" then consult man-pages for its return value, otherwise consult os-specific api documentation for similar return values. Or get aquinted with what data you actually recieve.
