Why does ‘client NIC speed’ in Demote DX fluctuate in FSLogix support in ControlUp 8.8?

Posted on May 4, 2023

A user queried how the value ‘Client NIC Speed’ is calculated in ControlUp 8.8, where they use FSLogix metrics. This value is determined based on the data rate of the NIC which is expressed in bits or bytes per second, and can be accessed through the Device Manager, Command Line, or third-party software. @member then shared a Slack blog post introducing Slack GPT AI, which another user noted looked cool, and offered to open a ‘test’ channel for experimentation with the technology.


Read the entire ‘Enumeration for Calculating Client NIC Speed in ControlUp 8.8’ thread below:

Hi folks, upgraded to 8.8 and i like the fslogix metrix a lot. I have a question about demote dx, which we don’t really use yet. How exactly is the value client nic speed calculated, cause its going up and down?


I don’t think we calculate it, we just pull it from the OS. It’s normal that it fluctuates depending on distance from the AP. @member do you know what value we use from the various operating systems?


Obviously if it would be a LAN port it would be whatever the Nic supports (10/100/1000 etc)But wireless will fluctuate The operating system calculates the NIC (Network Interface Card) speed based on the data rate at which the NIC can transmit and receive data over the network. This speed is usually expressed in bits per second (bps) or bytes per second (Bps) and represents the maximum bandwidth available for data transfer on the network.

The NIC speed can be determined through various methods, including:

  1. Through the device manager: In Windows, you can view the NIC speed by opening the Device Manager, right-clicking on the NIC and selecting "Properties." The NIC speed will be listed under the "Advanced" tab.
  2. Through the command line: You can also view the NIC speed using the command line interface. For example, in Windows, you can open the command prompt and enter the command "netsh interface ipv4 show interfaces." This will display a list of all the network interfaces on your system, including their speed.
  3. Through third-party software: There are also third-party software applications that can display the NIC speed and other network information.

It’s important to note that the NIC speed is not always equal to the actual network speed that you will experience. Factors such as network congestion, distance from the router, and other network issues can affect the actual data transfer rate.


Is that LukeGPT?

Might as well cut out the middle man and get this https://slack.com/blog/news/introducing-slack-gpt


This looks cool. There is another AI I have been looking at that is way cool. We point it at all our knowledge, docs, site etc and it learns from it,

But I will open a “test” channel soon for us all or play around with this stuff!

Fun! Thanks for sharing @member


@member we do enumeration of interfaces and finding the TransmitLinkSpeed
