CentOS - Mar 2015 - Network throughput testing software available for CentOS/Linux

Hello everyone,

A network engineer buddy of mine brought up for discussion with me
that he'd like to do some throughput testing, but he's new to
Linux/RedHat. Is there any software I can recommend to him that
any of you find above par for CentOS 6/7?

Thanks!

Gilbert

I've used iperf a lot successfully. I have an RPM for EL6 on my repo here:

https://alteeve.ca/an-repo/el6/RPMS/x86_64/iperf-2.0.5-11.el6.anvil.x86_64.rpm

The source is there, and I would be surprised if it didn't build
easily on EL7.

+1 for iperf, and it's available on EPEL also
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/
EPEL6 has iperf and iperf3 while EPEL7 has just iperf3.

netperf is also very good, but it's more complex to use and I'm not 
aware of packages for it.
