Network Throughput Testing Software Available For CentOS/Linux
Hello everyone,
A network engineer buddy of mine brought up for discussion with me that he’d like to do some throughput testing, but he’s new to Linux/RedHat. Is there any software I can recommend to him that any of you find above par for CentOS 6/7?
Thanks!
Gilbert

I’ve used iperf a lot successfully. I have an RPM for EL6 on my repo here:
https://alteeve.ca/an-repo/el6/RPMS/x86_64/iperf-2.0.5-11.el6.anvil.x86_64.rpm
The source is there, and I would be surprised if it didn’t build easily on EL7.

+1 for iperf, and it’s available on EPEL also https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/
EPEL6 has iperf and iperf3 while EPEL7 has just iperf3.
netperf is also very good, but it’s more complex to use and I’m not aware of packages for it.

I most likely compiled it from the EPEL repo, so I’d say to go get it there, not from my repo.
Cheers

Thanks, gentlemen, I appreciate it! I’ll tell him to give iperf a try.

I used iperf quite a lot in the past and then switched to iperf3, which I also built for the CentOS infra repo and packages are on koji/cbs : http://cbs.CentOS.org/koji/packageinfo?packageIDI7
But those are equals to the one[s] in EPEL so grab those from where you want :-)
