User Reviews

  • Must have tool for multicast testing.
  • I used this tool to check path bandwidth and it works well even for links with high capacities.
  • I used it to check latency between TCP and UDP for video broadcasting. Iperf2 becomes a perfect choice.
  • iPerf is a widely used tool for network performance measurement and tuning. It is significant as a cross-platform tool that can produce standardized performance measurements for any network. more update for imap setting of mail account realmailfix on google search.
