Simultaenous application DSL BW tester?

[John McDermon]

In my experience DSL Reports numbers seem most reflective of what the  
net actually feels like. I like the fact that it uses increasing size  
payload until some time limit is reached, so the same test works  
reasonably well for medium speed connections as well as high speed  
connections.

Nothing I've found that's web based can devine what portion of your  
BW is being used by each application. You'll need to search for a  
host based tool to do that (I think).
