netperf | netperf — a minimalistic tool

netperf is a Go library typically used in Utilities applications. netperf has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities and it has low support. However netperf has a Non-SPDX License. You can download it from GitHub.

netperf is an experimental, minimalistic, command line tool to measure performance of transferring data over the network. It is intended to understand the penalty (if any) of developing data transfer tools in Go, as compared to tools developed in lower level languages, such as bbcp or iperf. It may also be useful for comparing the performance of exchanging data using different network protocols, such as raw TCP, TLS, HTTP(S), WebSockets, etc. under the same network conditions (e.g. bandwidth, latency, packet loss, etc.). It consists of a client and a server. The server listens for network connections from clients (current only TCP and TLS are implemented). The client connects to the server and sends data during a specified period of time, using one or more network streams. After the data exchange period is finished, both the client and the server report on the observed throughput.
