In fact netserver is a true serverin the sense that all relevant data should be specified via thenetperf client. This feature makesnetserver also suited to bestarted from the Unix inetd net services daemon, such that inprinciple all security features, supplied by the TCP wrapper tool, arealso in effect here.


To explain, this is largely an artifact of the different intervals the two tools used by default. Ping uses an interval of 1 transaction per second while netperf issues the next transaction immediately when the previous transaction is complete.


Generally, we recommend using netperf over ping for latency tests. This isn't due to any lower reported latency at default settings, though. As a whole, netperf allows greater flexibility with its options and we prefer using TCP over ICMP. TCP is a more common use case and thus tends to be more representative of real-world applications. That being said, the difference between similarly configured runs with these tools is much less across longer path lengths.


Microbenchmarks rarely measure real world performance. This is especially true in networking where applications can use multiple protocols, use different types of communication, interleave CPU processing with communication, etc. However, popular microbenchmarks like iPerf and netperf are very simplistic, supporting only one protocol at a time, fixed message sized communication, no support for interleaving CPU processing between communication, and so on. Thus there is a need for a tool to closely model real world performance.


Performing Internet speed tests and simple network speed tests between two hosts on the local area network can help uncover network performance, latency, connectivity, and other problems.Subscribe to 4sysops newsletter!The tools listed can help quickly measure network speed, without complicated setup time, to find performance issues. In addition, all of the tools listed are free to download and use.


Nice article. 1) When working on network servers, I tend not add any tools unless required. My favorite in windows was pathping where I was able to assess packet loss and latency in the different hops in the connectivity test. In one used case, it helped us identify packet loss in a BGP route that was affecting a VPN to a data center. With the path ping data we were able to convince the ISP to adopt a different route. 2) When troubleshooting network congestion, I normally create test VM / host with iperf to simulate the server-client traversing a switch or firewall. 3) Thanks for the tip about fast.com. It seems like with the settings button there one can configure it to use multiple servers.


VMware removed the iPerf tool in ESXi 6.7 but brought it back in 6.7U1. Make sure you have iPerf installed on your ESXi host. Connect to the ESXi console via SSH, go to the /usr/lib/vmware/vsan/bin directory and check if it contains the iperf or iperf3 binary file.


Note: If package is not available on repository any how, than you have to wait until it is available (in the case of new/updated versions) or use other installation processes than apt-get e.g. compiling from source, downloading executable binary, etc.


If there is any one thing I regret in flent, it was our using netperf instead ofiperf2 as the primary measurement tool. netperf is widely used within the Linuxkernel community, but iperf is a primary tool elsewhere. iperf3, in particular,supports json output AND there are version of it readily available for bothandroid and IoS, and I wish we had more support for it. 2ff7e9595c
