Netperf
Netperf is an open-source, self-hosted utility for measuring network performance. It reports unidirectional throughput and end-to-end latency through a client-server arrangement: netperf runs tests and netserver supplies the server side. Netserver can run as an inetd child or standalone daemon. The manual describes TCP and UDP transfer and request/response tests over IPv4 and IPv6 sockets, plus XTI, DLPI, Unix domain socket, and SCTP tests. Where the platform and build support it, results can include CPU utilization and service demand. Optional configuration enables STREAM pacing, timing histograms, and interim results. The primary distribution is source code, intended for systems without readily available binaries. Reported Windows builds use Cygwin, the Windows DDK, or Microsoft Visual Studio 2003; the README discusses an OSX naming workaround. Hewlett Packard Enterprise released this version under the MIT license. The project warns that its manual may be outdated, and several test families require explicit configuration.
