Flowgrind

Flowgrind is a testing and benchmarking tool to measure throughput and other metrics for TCP. It was originally developed to study performance and behavior of TCP variants within Wireless mesh networks. In contrast to similar tools like Iperf or Netperf it features a distributed architecture, where throughput and other metrics are measured between flowgrind server processes.

Iperf

iperf, also known as Iperf or iPerf, is a tool for network performance measurement and tuning. It is a cross-platform tool that can produce standardized performance measurements for any network.

Netperf

Netperf is a software application that provides network bandwidth testing between two hosts on a network. It supports Unix domain sockets, TCP, SCTP, DLPI and UDP via BSD Sockets.
