Testing the network performance using Iperf
To test the network performance of a server or machine, we've an open source tool using which we can test network performance i.e. Iperf. Iperf is very reliable for testing the network performace and measuring network performance between two servers.
It's quite easy to install on the client end using the yum utility on the Linux machine and then one can see it used like below:-
iperf -s <server IP or hostname>
------------------------------------------------------------
Server listening on TCP port 5001
TCP window size: 85.3 KByte (default)
------------------------------------------------------------
[ 3] local 123.123.123.123 port 4000 connected with 123.123.123.123 port 5001
[ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth
[ 3] 0.0-10.0 sec 1.1 GBytes 1.09 Gbits/sec
That's it.
