Hi all
I started doing project to measure my ethernet speed by using arduino UNO & ethernet shield and print it on a serial monitor is it possible? if it is possible, pls guide me through this and i successfully connected the shield and get the ip address of the shield but not able to move to the next step....
Thanks in advance..
is it possible?
What speed are you trying to measure? How do you get the time that the event of interest started? When the event of interest ended? Are the two devices that report the time somehow in sync?
but not able to move to the next step....
Which is?
My project just to display the upload and down load speed of internet.It' like speed test done in our computer .but here instead of PC we are displaying in Serial monitor probably next step would be LCD.
thanks
The ethernet shield is not a good device to use for this purpose. The bottleneck is the SPI bus, not the w5100 ethernet controller.

That's like measuring the speed of the freeway. That speed makes little difference when your car is the slowest piece of sh*t on the road.
How are you proposing to measure this speed, anyway? Speed would be number of somethings per unit of time. How will you measure the time? How will you measure the number of somethings? What are the somethings that you are dealing with?
