I need a program that can test all of my ports...

[Vesayen]

Using wire shark now... I dont see any clear way to scan all ports for the traffic they can handle.

If I understand this, this program can be used to scan existing traffic. It has a ton of other neat nifty tools to do things I don't need.

There must exist some specialized program to do what I want-I can't be the only person to ever want to scan and test all my ports heh.

Using wireshark for this specific purpose is like handing me a c complier when I ask for a calculator. Technically yes, I could make a calculator with this, but not easily.

May be the link. It's been a while, but I'll check it out.

Vesayen, Nmap may be more what you're looking for, then?

As far as scanning ports for what traffic they can handle... are you talking about tunneling/changing the port that certain applications use?

[Vesayen]

I dont plan on tunneling or changing the ports, I just need to know which can handle lots of traffic so I can use them... some programs allow many different ports to be used.

... are you asking if, say, port 80 has more bandwidth than 21?

I think what he has found

is that he is connected to a network with QoS policies in place. He is trying to get around those QoS policies by switching the port of the applications he wants to use to ports not restricted by those QoS policies.

If my network allows more traffic through 1 port then another, yes.

Bingo.

Isn't that what I said?
