I have servers in two different data centers and connected via leased lines. How do I find out bandwidth latency and jitter between two servers using MS-Windows server, UNIX or Linux operating systems? How do I verify that my leased line based internet connection is stable between two data centers?
You need to use iperf which is a measurement tool for TCP/UDP bandwidth performance. iperf has a client and server functionality, and can measure the throughput between the two ends or servers, either unidirectonally or bi-directionally. It is open source software and runs on various platforms including Linux, Unix and Windows.
