iperf is free software to test the data throughput of a computer network.
The software can generate TCP and UDP data streams. iperf is started on the remote computer as a server and on the local computer as a client. Additional parameters such as unidirectional or bidirectional data streams, the buffer size or the amount of data to be transferred or the time can be freely selected using parameters. A report is output with a time stamp, the amount of data transferred and the bandwidth determined. Numerous operating systems such as Windows , Unix and Linux are supported on various hardware (e.g. also on NAS ).
Graphic user interface (GUI)
A graphical user interface (GUI) called jperf is available for iperf.
iperf3
iperf3 was programmed from scratch. The objectives were: smaller size, a simpler code base and a library version that can be integrated into other programs. The reprogramming started in 2009. The first version appeared in January 2014. It is not backwards compatible with iperf2.
