Hello, Is there any way to get the "Internet speed / Network bandwidth" in macOS application? My requirement is to find Internet speed (to know whether Network is slower / faster ). I have checked CWWiFiClient. With CoreWLAN apis we can retrieve : RSSI Value, Transmit speed etc. Transmit Rate is an indication of the speed of your wireless network connection. Whether is it related with Internet speed ? I want to know which parameters can be used to identify whether network is fast / slow? Thanks. Any help is appreciated.

Hello,I am using NSPrintOperation with runOperationModalForWindow as following :NSPrintOperation *op; NSPrintInfo *myPrintInfo; myPrintInfo = [[NSPrintInfo alloc] init]; // // Set attributes of myPrintInfo // op = [NSPrintOperation printOperationWithView: detailsTextView printInfo:myPrintInfo]; [op runOperationModalForWindow:[self window] delegate:nil didRunSelector:NULL contextInfo: NULL];With the above code, It is working fine for all OS , except 10.13.
