I have used iperf on OpenBSD 4.9 to run get some quick basic numbers
and experiment with jumbo frames. My test also involved a Windows
system, so the cross-platform part was nice. Haven't used tcpbench
before, but it is built-in to recent OpenBSD systems and looks pretty
nice according to the man page.

network throughput tool suggestion

2012-02-14 Thread Mihai Popescu
Hi,

I need to test a commercial router for throughtput and I decided to
put it between 2 OpenBSD systems running network benchmark software.
Looking on openports.se I found iperf, netperf and ttcp. Could you
suggest one from them, based on your experience, please ?

Thanks.
