Get your external IP address if your machine has a DNS entry

Using DynDNS or a similar service not only allows access to your home machine from outside without needing to know what IP the ISP has assigned to it but it also comes in handy if you want to know your external IP address. The only purpose of the sed command is to remove the leading "host.na.me has address " part from the output. If you don't need to discard it you can simply use

host $HOSTNAME

Test network performance, copying from the mem of one box, over the net to the mem of another

Note, the [remotePort] should be opened in the firewall first. First, start the destination box listening, then fire off the sending box. Data from the /dev/zero device in memory of the source machine is read out using dd, sent over the network with nc, and read back in from the other side of the network with nc, going to the /dev/null device. Essentially, it is a memory-network-memory copy operation, the output of dd will tell you how fast your network really is performing.

throttle bandwidth with cstream

this bzips a folder and transfers it over the network to "host" at 777k bit/s.

cstream can do a lot more, have a look http://www.cons.org/cracauer/cstream.html#usage

for example:

echo w00t, i'm 733+ | cstream -b1 -t2

hehe :)

Finding hostname and the IP Address of your machine

This is a useful command that gives the hostname and the IP Address of your machine, on many OS. Tested on Linux and Solaris.

host command here is followed by `hostname`. Note the ` in the command is a back quote (or grave accent or back tic that usually shares the space with the ~ key). No other options are specified. See sample output.
