Try using the System.Net.NetworkInformation classes. In particular,
System.Net.NetworkInformation.IPv4InterfaceStatisticsought to have some information along the lines of what you’re looking for.Specifically, you can check the
bytesReceivedproperty, wait a given interval, and then check thebytesReceivedproperty again to get an idea of how many bytes/second your connection is processing. To get a good number, though, you should try to download a large block of information from a given source, and check then; that way you should be ‘maxing’ the connection when you do the test, which should give more helpful numbers.
