Please note: The accuracy of this speed test diminishes with larger bandwidth circuits The hardware performance of the client running this test has a significant impact on results |
Iperf is a network testing tool used to help measure network throughput. It's developed by ESnet / Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. For more information please visit http://software.es.net/iperf/ and https://github.com/esnet/iperf

Please note: The hardware performance of the client running this test has a significant impact on results WiscNet has noticed that the Iperf clients for Linux, Unix, and macOS perform better than the ports for Windows |
iperf -c iperf.wiscnet.net -t 10 -P 4 -u -b 250m -i1 |
When runing multiple threads you must look at the SUM lines for total throughput. Output below shows successfully getting 953Mbits/sec through

Check your firewall settings and NAT to ensure port 5001 is open to your host |
Command
iperf -c iperf.wiscnet.net -t 10 -P 4 -u -b 1000m -i1 -r |
macOS - Install
macOS - Example
