Check Network Bandwidth with iperf.

This needs 2 machine, Client(Sender) and Server(Receiver).

Server :

Install iperf3 (Install on both Client and Server) .

root@dlp:~# apt -y install iperf3

root@dlp:~# iperf3 -s

Server listening on 5201

Client

Check Network Bandwidth to execute the command like follows.

root@www:~# iperf3 -c 10.0.0.30 -b 1024M #-b 1024 adalah bandwitdh yang akan diuji.
