Queue/Buffer depth can throw off short tests. w, -window # TCP window size (socket buffer size) Small window size + Parallel can hammer software-based routers. Window Size - tiny ones are good for PPS testing, big ones for BPS testing.

(defaults to TCP) -U, -single_udp run in single threaded UDP mod -b, -bandwidth # for UDP, bandwidth to send at in bits/sec

Run multiple streams - I usually run (8) -P, -parallel # number of parallel client threads to run I've personally used iperf to test 4x10GE bundles, which admittedly took some endpoint horsepower. I do have an old netbook that is running KALI (Backtrack) Linux but that only has a 100Mbps NIC and as it's USB2 only a USB NIC will only go to around 300Mbps from what I understand.Īny other methods, software recommendations or thoughts would be helpful.Įcho'ing what others have said, IPERF works very very well, but needs a few command line tweaks to give you a solid test, especially at higher line rates. It would be good if there was a Gig Raspberry PI that had a Gig port. I Would also like to put together a portable device such as Banana Pi Pro with a Gig NIC and then SSH into it. Other tools - The only other one that I have really played with is Tamosoft Throughout Test which has a nice server and client program but has very limited options. Iperf V3 seems much more reliable and consistent in my testing compared to V1 and V2 when testing over a Gig. I know up to 100Mbps is fairly straight forward but seems at a Gig it requires a bit more knowledge and consideration. Iperf - What are the best options to use for testing especially 1Gbps links?. Just wanted to check what software tools are available for network throughput testing and best methods and practice for testing up to 1Gbps links.
