Hi, In the research & education networking world, perfSONAR is the tool commonly used for this. It’s open source, free and available at https://www.perfsonar.net/. The CERN experiment infrastructure around the world has ~1000 perfSONAR nodes deployed, for example.
It can be used on everything from Raspberry Pi for Gigabit links up to 100G Ethernet links using well-specified and tuned servers. It runs continuous loss and latency tests, and (by default) throughput tests to configured destinations every 6 hours. Its pScheduler component ensures throughput tests are scheduled to be non conflicting. Such tests can use for example iperf2, iperf3 or Ethr. There was a talk yesterday about perfSONAR on Pi devices and with Docker - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbYpK2PtVnI, and a more general perfSONAR talk at UKNOF in December - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jj8_cLLDQ2g.
