Welcome to the Netperf Homepage

From here you can retrieve information about netperf and the performance of systems running the netperf benchmark. You can also submit performance results for the benefit of the rest of the netperf community.

What's new with netperf - netperf 2.6.0 releases with a number of changes - please see the Release Notes for more information. Also the manual has been updated.

Netperf is a benchmark that can be used to measure the performance of many different types of networking. It provides tests for both unidirecitonal throughput, and end-to-end latency. The environments currently measureable by netperf include:

• TCP and UDP via BSD Sockets for both IPv4 and IPv6
• DLPI
• Unix Domain Sockets
• SCTP for both IPv4 and IPv6

Here are some of the netperf services available via this page:

Netperf Numbers Submit and Retrieve Netperf results from the Netperf Database.

Download Netperf Download various revisions of the Netperf benchmark.

Netperf Training View the Netperf manual or whitepapers on using Netperf.

Netperf Feedback Provide feedback on the benchmark or the pages.

Other Resources The network performance world does not live on netperf alone.

If you run into any problems with the netperf services provided by this server, please provide Netperf Feedback page, or send me email. I am always looking for suggestions as to content and presentation. For example, I am looking for a few good icons to possibly take the place of the ones presently in use.

Happy Benchmarking!
