You can start with a simple method found here: http://yeungus.com/2009/09/07/as3-bandwidth-test/

Flash Media Server also has some bandwidth detection as the link suggests as well, but might not be exactly what you are looking for.

For doing what you are describing, I would look at the docs for flash.net.Socket and see the options there. Also flash.net.URLLoader could be of use, as well as looking over flash.net and seeing if anything else sticks out.
