Welcome to the Netperf Homepage

From here you can retrieve information about netperf and the performance of systems running the netperf benchmark. You can also submit performance results for the benefit of the rest of the netperf community.

Netperf has migrated to GitHub! This website was also migrated in an effort to preserve any important historical documentation. Links have been updated and cleaned up as much as possible, but some may no longer work.

Please read the disclaimer and check the Release Notes and manual for more information.

Netperf is a benchmark that can be used to measure the performance of many different types of networking. It provides tests for both unidirectional throughput, and end-to-end latency. The environments currently measureable by netperf include:

• TCP and UDP via BSD Sockets for both IPv4 and IPv6
• DLPI
• Unix Domain Sockets
• SCTP for both IPv4 and IPv6

Here are some of the netperf services available via this page:
