Made this due to iperf not being available for IBM i and the need to do some measurement of network throughput. Makes it possible to measure network throughput between two IBM i hosts (on same or different frames) or to/from Linux, AIX, Windows or any other platform that runs Java. To get best speed you need to use TCP and large packet sizes. The iperf tool defaults to 128K for TCP and 8K for UDP.

jPerf

Small utility to measure network performance between two hosts.

Requirements

You need Java (JRE) version 8 or later to run jnetperf.

Usage Instructions

  • Install the jnetperf package (.deb, .rpm or .jar) from downloads or compile from source.
  • Run /opt/jnetperf/bin/jperf, if installed from package
  • Or as java -jar /path/to/jnetperf.jar
Usage: jnetperf [-hV] [-l=SIZE] [-n=NUM] [-p=PORT] (-c=HOST | -s)
Network Performance Testing.
  -c, --connect=HOST   Connect to remote server
  -h, --help           Show this help message and exit.
  -l, --pkt-len=SIZE   Datagram size in bytes, max 65507 [default: 65507]
  -n, --pkt-num=NUM    Number of packets to send [default: 150000]
  -p, --port=PORT      Network port [default: 4445]
  -s, --server         Run server and wait for client
  -V, --version        Print version information and exit.

Development Information

You need Java (JDK) version 8 or later to build jnetperf.

Build & Test

Use the gradle build tool, which will download all required dependencies:

./gradlew clean build
