How can be measured the bandwidth speed between Windows 8.1 as host OS and Turnkey LAMP (Debian I guess) stack as guest?

  • (I'll use the guest as a server using a 20/200 Mbps connection, looking for 1 Gbps)

  • @hopelessn00b The stack will be used like a private server for a commercial system, accessed through an ip. Is off-topic? Even though there was a comment refering to an use as a server. I thought it was enough a concise question.

  • Read the off-topic reason. Using a client OS as a virtualization host is not a reasonable IT practice, not is it a supported server configuration. Mar 14, 2015 at 21:27

There are numerous utilities to measure bandwidth speed on a Linux system.

I recommend nethogs (#4) to measure the bandwidth of your application specifically.

It doesn't matter what kind of network connection it is. Physical, VMware host-only network, VMware bridged network, etc.

# ubuntu or debian (default repos)
$ sudo apt-get install nethogs
$ sudo nethogs
