title: "Network Throughput Testing"
date: 2019-08-30T20:11:26-04:00
draft: false
---
I ended up upgrading the wiring in my place to CAT7 recently and I wanted to see if there was a noticeable performance difference to my previous cabling. This blog post won't be a product comparison, but instead I'll show how you can do network throughput testing at your own location.
There is a great package called `iperf`. It's in most repositories under Linux, and binaries for Windows and macOS exist as well.
For a more in depth tutorial [check out this post from Linode](https://www.linode.com/docs/networking/diagnostics/install-iperf-to-diagnose-network-speed-in-linux/).
*For the 5 second spiel...*
One one machine, start the server
```bash
iperf -s
```
On another machine connect to the server and begin testing the connection
```bash
iperf -c 192.168.0.2
```
You can also use the `-t` flag to specify the number of seconds you want to run the test for.
