Testing Network Responsiveness
Apple Remote Desktop can test network responsiveness between your administrator computer and client computers. It sends network packets to the clients and reports the time taken to receive confirmation from the clients.
You can choose how many network packets to send, how often they are sent, and how long the administrator computer waits for a reply before listing a packet as lost.

Evaluating the Network Test Report
You can use the Network Test report to diagnose whether task failures in Apple Remote Desktop are due to network congestion or to some other factor. You may, for example, find that a Copy Items task is failing on a particular subnet, due to network congestion on that subnet.
