Network: NETIO Benchmark

March 6, 2009 in Windows Network by MLK

Description/Problem:
Few days ago I need test the stability and throughput of the network between two servers in our organization. I have tested several free tools but the most interesting tool for me was NETIO Benchmark. It’s small tool which is working on client/server technology, allow easy and fast check of the network throughput via NetBIOS, TCP and UDP protocols (using various different packet sizes).

Solution:

  • Download & decompress the NETIO Benchmark tool
  • Execute Win32-exe file on the server side with parameters: “-s -t -u”
  • Execute Win32-exe file on the client side with parameters:
    • for TCP test “-t {server_IP}”
    • for UDP test “-u {server_IP}”
