I was wondering what is the technology behind Internet Speed test, which some websites use to check your speed e.g; http://www.speedtest.net/
The reason behind this question is, i wanted to write my own with one more feature and that is to keep checking speed after some interval so that i can have better idea of what i am getting for what i am paying for.
I am not sure if this question belongs to stackoverflow, so please forgive me if it is not.
Thanks.
