Linux Networking Performance Throughput Testing Tool
IPerf is a free Linux tool that can be used to test throughput of network devices. It comes into its own if you plan to test maximum bandwidth performance for TCP & UDP.
On its own it is great, but when used in conjunction with JPerf it is even better. JPerf is a simple to use GUI front-end to IPerf.
Fantastic tools, all for free!
