You can install the module with the command: Install-Module -Name iPerfAutomate Installing iPerf on CentOS Linux There is a separate iPerfAutomateВ module in the PowerShell Script Gallery that can be used to get network performance metrics from your PowerShell scripts. To use it, just specify the iPerf server address and run the scan. In addition to graphical form for the CLI interface, Jperf can build graphs bandwidth charts of the communication channel in real time.

The jperf is written on Java (in order to run jperf, the Java VM must be installed on the computer). There are several iPerf GUI implementations for Windows. There are only two files in the archive: cygwin1.dllВ and iperf3.exe. You do not need to install the tool, it is enough to download the iPerf archive and extract it to a local directory on the drive. You can download iPerf 3.1.3В for Windows from the following link. iPerf3 is not officially supported for Windows platform, but it works quite fine.

The remaining differences are not so significant, so no need to use a specific version of iPerf (even the CLI parameters are the same). IPerf3 code is significantly smaller and better optimized. iPerf3 has better implementation of high-speed UDP testing.iPerf2 is preferably used for parallel threads, bidirectional tests, and this version is officially supported on Windows OS.In iPerf1/2 it is 5001, in iPerf3 it is 5201. The functionality of these tools is mostly compatible, but they use different network ports by default. There are currently two independent iPerf branches developing in parallel: iPerf2В and iPerf3.

On the second computer, the iPerf starts in client mode, generates TCP or UDP traffic and measures the maximum data transfer rate. On the first device, the iPerf starts in server mode (it is waiting for traffic from the iPerf client). IPerfВ is a cross-platform tool and doesnвЂ™t require installation, just copy and run it on two devices, between which you want to test the network throughput.

In this post, we will show you how to install and use the iPerfВ tool to check the network throughput on WindowsВ and Linux CentOSВ (there are iPerf versions for Android, MacOS, RouterOS from MikroTik and other platforms). You can use iPerf to quickly measure the maximum network bandwidth (throughput) between a server and a client, conduct stress testing of the ISP communication channel, router, network gateway (firewall), your Ethernet or Wi-Fi network. The iPerf allows to generate TCP and UDP traffic/load between two hosts. IPerfВ is an open-source tool designed to test network bandwidth between two network nodes.
