     <p>The Network Diagnostic Tool (NDT) provides a sophisticated speed  
and diagnostic test. An NDT test reports more than just the upload and  
download speeds &mdash; it also attempts to determine what, if any,  
problems limited these speeds, differentiating between computer  
configuration and network infrastructure problems. While the diagnostic  
messages are most useful for expert users, they can also help novice users  
by allowing them to provide detailed trouble reports to their  
network&nbsp;administrator.</p>

     <p>NDT makes use of either Flash or Java plugins to perform the test.
