Lanbench

LANBench is a simple, standalone network benchmarking utility used to test TCP performance between two computers on a local network. It is noted for its minimal CPU usage and portability. Report Summary: LANBench Performance & Features Primary Function Benchmarks TCP network performance between two hosts. Connectivity

Network Stressing: Supports up to 20 simultaneous connections to simulate heavy network load. LANBench

: By isolating TCP performance, it helps identify if network slowness is due to cabling, switches, or software overhead. Comparison with Other Tools Packet Size Configuration: Adjust the payload size (from

2. Customizable Payload Engine

• Packet Size Configuration: Adjust the payload size (from 64 bytes to 64KB) to simulate different types of traffic (e.g., VoIP small packets vs. large file transfer packets).
• Test Duration: Set tests to run for specific durations (e.g., 10 seconds, 60 seconds) or continuously until manually stopped.
• Thread Count: Adjust the number of parallel connection threads to saturate high-speed links (1Gbps, 10Gbps, or 40Gbps).
