Here is another slide from our baselining series that we did the other week. This one is going to focus on network throughput testing. I use a couple laptops, and iperf3 software which you can get for free at https://iperf.fr/iperf-download.php
The key message and is to develop a methodology consistency so you can better test your equipment and your network. I emphasize some sort of sample size; mine happens to be five to start with. Obviously, the more samples you have the more accurate the values will be.
Even though I use iperf3 in this session, there are many other products that will do the same thing. I just wanted to get those who have never done this, started with something.Â
Have fun folks.
