Try playing with ping and traceroute for a while. There is also bing
which can be used to measure bandwidthes.

You will find them (bing is free, available somewhere on ftp.ibp.fr)
on most UNIXes as standard utils. Some UNIX OSes need you to be root
to execute traceroute (or setting the s bit as root).
