Network Operations Tools

iperf

English

Overview

A tool for measuring the effective network bandwidth between two points.

Details

A benchmarking tool that measures actual TCP/UDP throughput, used to verify effective network bandwidth. Because it runs dedicated processes on both the client and server to measure throughput, it can verify what a plain ping can't show -- the actual achievable throughput -- while varying parameters like TCP window size or the number of parallel streams.
