1. A method for testing a data path of a server operably connected between at least one peripheral device and at least one client device via a network, the data path being adapted to transmit data between the peripheral device and the network as requested by the client device, said method comprising the steps of:

  • independently testing the operating performance characteristics of one of a peripheral interface portion of the data path and a network interface portion of the data path, including testing to determine if the rate at which the server received data were faster than the rate at which it could transmit the data and thereby determine the existence of any bottleneck in a portion of the data path; and

    generating a status report indicating a result of said testing.
