As a general tool, I rather like PathTest - it's free and versatile, you ju=
st have to have a daemon somewhere on the other end of the circuit (even if=
that's multiple AS's away) that can deliver sufficient throughput for the =
test. It's far more efficient than a flash based test. Even a very modest=
laptop which chokes at 70Mbps in flash can do a few hundred Mbps with it, =
and anything decent can do a full gig and up.
I realize that doesn't help you find an endpoint in the Middle East to test=
against, but at least now you have a better tool. :)
