benchmarks/netperfmeter 2.0.12

NetPerfMeter is a network performance meter for the TCP, MPTCP, SCTP, UDP, DCCP, and QUIC transport protocols over IPv4 and IPv6. It simultaneously transmits bidirectional flows to an endpoint and measures the resulting flow bandwidths and QoS. Flows can be saturated (i.e. "send as much as possible" or non-saturated with frame rate and frame sizes (like a multimedia transmission). Non-saturated flows can be configured with constant or variable frame rate/frame size, i.e. to realise Constant Bit Rate (CBR) or Variable Bit Rate (VBR) traffic. For both, frame rate and frame size, it is not only possible to set constant values but to also to use random distributions. Furthermore, flows can be set up as on/off flows. Of course, the flow parameters can be configured individually per flow and flow direction. The measurement results can be recorded as scalar files (summary of the run) and vector files (time series). These files can be processed further, e.g. for detailed analysis and plotting of the results. The Wireshark network protocol analyser provides out-of-the-box support for analysing NetPerfMeter packet traffic.
