Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router is a very flexible and effective upcoming 54Mbps wireless networking standard that is almost five times as fast as the widely deployed Wireless-B (802.11b) products found in homes, businesses, and public wireless hotspots around the country but since they share the same 2.4GHz radio band, Wireless-G devices can also interoperate with existing 11Mbps Wireless-B equipment. more>> <<less

Apple Broadband Tuner - Increases TCP send & receive buffers for faster internet more>>
There is an optional uninstaller that can be used to restore the settings that were in effect at the time just before the system parameters were changed.
The installer increases the default values for the size of the TCP send and receive buffers. With larger buffers more data can be in transit at once. A startup configuration file is also updated so that these changes will persist across restarts.
The system parameters are sysctl variables that are set as follows:
net.inet.tcp.sendspace: 131072
net.inet.tcp.recvspace: 358400
kern.ipc.maxsockbuf: 512000
This change has a system wide effect and is applied even if the network is not high speed connection with a high latency, with the exception of modem connections for which the system uses small default TCP buffer sizes.

Radius Benchmarking/Testing Tool 1.0
Radius Benchmarking/Testing Tool - Send rapid authentication requests to a Radius server more>>
For use in stress testing or benchmarking a hardware/OS combination for running a Radius Server.
This RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) client program sends radius authentication requests to any IETF standards based radius server.
It is useful in determining performance metrics for comparing different radius servers. It can also assist in determining which versions of a computers OS and hardware platforms will provide the most performance.
Most radius servers support, and are configured to provide, both Authentication (RFC#2138) and Accounting (RFC#?) services. This program only tests the Authentication service.
A modern G4 running MacRadius will handle a sustained rate of over 60 authentications a second! (and, although nobody would ever run it that way, without logging turned on it can handle over 2100 a second).
