![]() ![]() ![]() There are many network testing tools out there and here I take a look at a couple. IxChariot is commercial enterprise-level network assessment tool that can simulate real-world network environments and applications at the transport layer (Layer 4), supporting testing via TCP, UDP, RTP, IPX, SPX, IPv4, IPv6, IP Multicast, and VoIP. You can measure throughput, jitter, packet loss, end-to-end delay, MOS and MDI. It's offered as a Windows-based console but also provides endpoint software for many platforms, including Windows CE, Linux, Sun Solaris, Novell Netware, and others. IxChariot is highly customizable and uses application scripts to simulate varying types of enterprise, triple-play and Internet traffic, and includes over 150 preconfigured scripts. You can embed custom payloads to test specific data content across the network. It can also simulate a variety of applications/protocols: Active Directory, Microsoft Exchange, POP3, HTTP/HTTPS, FTP, SMTP, and more. TamoSoft Throughput Test is a free Windows-based utility one of many network tools TamoSoft offers. It can test TCP and UDP simultaneously in both directions, or TCP by itself, supporting either IPv4 or IPv6. Once started, it continuously sends data streams and reports the upstream and downstream throughput values in Mbps, UDP packet loss percentage, and round-trip time. It gives a numeric readout and offers live chart views as well. You can also test with varying Quality of Service (QoS) settings too. Once you install TamoSoft Throughput Test you'll find a server application, which you want to run on one of the endpoints.
