Socket Speed

Hi,

Does anyone know how i can find out the transfer speed of incoming data into my program? Im using standard TCP sockets, and need to get the data from my recv() call.

Any simple ways of doing this?

Thanks
Jack

The same way you figure out the rate of anything. Figure out how much "stuff" came in, happened, passed by, etc. and divide by the amount of time it took.

using select you don't need to know the speed - it will notify you when data are ready to be read...
