I am using Lua to develop a mobile appication.
Is there any function ( in lua sockets or other) to determine the speed of the device's internet connection?

Or should I just download a file and calculate (bytes/time)

I need to detect if the device's internet is 2G or not..

I have not used Lua on mobile devices.
but at at least on Android devices, I know there is APIs to detect the connection type.
see the documentation below:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/telephony/TelephonyManager.html#getNetworkType() <http://developer.android.com/reference/android/telephony/TelephonyManager.html#getNetworkType%28%29>

I believe there must be some way to retrieve this same info in Lua.
