measuring bandwidth and latency
I am interested in measuring the bandwidth and latency of the computers on my distributed computing network. I have done some research and found that in other forums people were suggesting "online tests," buying equipment and/or programs to do it for you, cgi/perl script and java programs. I was wondering if anyone knew what the coding would be in order for me to have a java program that would be able to calculate and display the latency and bandwidth of the computer the program is running on. If anyone has any knowledge on the matter please email me at mattmarino04@yahoo.com

Guessing by the fact that 1) distributed networks was mentioned and 2) online tests were mentioned I suspect the question refers to network latency and bandwidth capacity, but I could be wrong.
Yes. I have 4 computers set up on a network. My task is to figure out the latency and bandwidth for all 4 of these computers. The only reasonable way to do so though seems to be to dish out bushels of dollars to by stupid tools or use online tests to do it. I wanted to do it on my own and saw something about RMI and thought that might have something to do with it in Java. It doesnt necessarily have to be in java coding, it could be in C, C++, CGI, Perl and programming language but I would need help compiling, executing ect if it wasnt java
