Performance Testing

NDT - Java applet so it can be run from any PC without having to pre-load software. The Indiana GigaPoP runs an NDT server on a server with a Gigabit Ethernet link to the Gigapop router at Lifeline Data Center. You can test to this server by going to the following URL: http://sd-pc.indiana.gigapop.net:7123/tcpbw100.html

IPERF - Another application for testing throughput and latency. It requires you to install an application on the PCs at both ends of the connection. You can download the application at: http://dast.nlanr.net/Projects/Iperf/ The Indiana GigaPoP has IPERF installed on a server, but does not keep it running persistently. If you are a member of the Indiana GigaPoP and wish to run an iperf test with our server, please contact the NOC to schedule testing.

BWCTL - A "wrapper" around iperf. It provides an authenticated/authorized way to automate iperf testing across administrative domains. The Indiana GigaPoP has a BWCTL available. If you would like to setup BWCTL testing, please contact the NOC.
