Help needed regarding bandwidth calculation

I have to know the available bandwidth of my lan/net connection
programmatically. Is there any way to know it? Please help. I am using
Red Hat Linux 9.0.

Note: I don't want to know the speed of my interface card rather the
speed of my internet connection.

Define the "speed of my internet connection. If you mean something like
the average speed of retrievals from several well known web sites, then it
should be obvious how to measure it.
