The monitor measures the transfer speed between Network Monitor and an object. The test measures the time it takes to download the specified amount of data from the chargen.exe service running on the object.

The chargen.exe service must be installed and running on the object. Microsoft supplies a chargen.exe server for Windows in the Simple TCP/IP Services package. The chargen.exe service uses port 19 (TCP) by default.
