is there a way we can check the data speed in Ethernet
-
Actually i am looking to work on a project in which i will send data and recieve through ethernet . But my doubt is , whether is there a way that we can detect the speed at which the data received through ethernet , as my main aim was to transmit and receive data at 100Mbs speed . Now i want to validate the speed of data received through ethernet whether is it possible in QT ?

It is possible to find the speed. No Qt classes to help you in this task. You can use some openSource libraries or classes do the same.

Yes. Measure how much data you get in a given amount of time :-)
So, each time you get a new packet or datagram, summarise its size, then periodically (once per second) calculate the speed. It's also good to add another step - calculate an average of last 3-5 measurements to get more "stable" results.
Now, regarding that 100 Mbps - to reach such speed you need to make sure your infrastructure supports it (preferably 1 Gbps Ethernet connection).
