Install nc and pv
$ sudo yum install pv
Once you have nc and pv installed, it’s really simple. On one machine, run the following command:
$ nc -ulp 5000 > /dev/null
On the second machine run the following command (you need the IP address of the first machine):
$ pv < /dev/zero | nc -u 192.168.0.174 5000
And you should get some output with a little <=> sign moving across the screen that resembles this (static):
1.15GB 0:00:19 [ 218MB/s] [ <=> ]
This will show you the number of MB/s the connection is averaging; if you watch if for a bit, you can get an idea of where things stand. Here are some of the results I got between my RedHat, Fedora and Ubuntu Machines:
