Netperf is a benchmark that can be used to measure the performance of many different types of networking. It provides tests for both unidirectional throughput, and end-to-end latency.

Starting with version 2.5.0, netperf began migrating most of the “classic” netperf tests found in src/nettest_bsd.c to the so-called “omni” tests (aka “two routines to run them all”) found in …

From here you can download copies of netperf and other benchmarks. There are at least two ways to obtain netperf. The first, ftp.netperf.org will allow you to download tar/zip files of …

There are two ways to install netperf. The first runs the netperf server program, netserver, as a child of inetd, which requires that the installer of netperf be able to edit the files /etc/services …

There is a mailing list for discussion of netperf with an old archive of previous discussions. Hopefully, a new archive will be up and running shortly. If you would like to browse the netperf …

Useful information about network performance testing can be found in Benchmarking Terminology for Network Interconnection Devices (RFC 1242) . That document is the first product of the …

the data flows from the netserver to the netperf rather than from the netperf to the netserver. This can be useful in those situations where netperf (netserver) is installed on a remote system, but …

etc.. Options after the "--" are test specific. You can run netperf -- -h to get a list. Don't worry, its not obvious. :) Greg

netperf 2.1. If anyone is feeling interested/bored/whatever, the experimental netperf3 bits on ftp.cup could use an NT port. That code should evolve into a "one invokation can provide …
