iperf
Installation
_$: apt-get install iperf
Tests
TCP:
(server)_$: iperf -s
(client)_$: iperf -c <IP server>
UDP (without target bandwith):
(server)_$: iperf -u -s
(client)_$: iperf -u -c <IP server>
UDP (with target bandwith):
(server)_$: iperf -u -s
(client)_$: iperf -u -c <IP server> -b 900M # 900 Mbit/s is the target
