Mac os iperf3 install

Installing iPerf on a Mac OS X system

It can be used to determine available bandwidth using both Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) data streams.

To install an already compiled version of iPerf on a Mac OS X system, such as a MacBook Pro laptop, download the Apple macOS Intel 64bits version. The latest version is a 3.x version. You will need matching versions on both the client and server systems. E.g., a 2.x version on both or a 3.x version on both. The software is available in ZIP file format. If you double-click on the zip file in the Apple Finder application, a Unix Executable File will be extracted from the .zip file, e.g., iperf3 . You can move the file to the Applications/Utilities directory or place it wherever you like on the system.

To run the program, open a Terminal window — the Terminal application is found in the Applications/Utilities directory. If you type /pathtofile/iperf3 -h , where pathtofile is the location where you placed the executable file, for the iperf3 version you will see the following «help» information on the usage of the program:

If you run iPerf version 3in server mode with the command iperf -s , you will see the following:

Version 3 of the program listens on TCP port 5201 by default whereas version 2.x versions listen on TCP port 5001 by default.

You will also see a window open with the following question (image):

Do you want the application «iperf3» to
accept incoming network connections?

Clicking Deny may limit the application’s behavior.
This setting can be changed in the Firewall pane of
Security & Privacy preferences.

You will need to click on Allow to allow external systems running iPerf in client mode to connect to the system. You can terminate the program from the command line by hitting control-C , i.e., hit the control and c keys simultaneously.

You can check on whether iPerf is allowed to listen for incoming connections on an OS X system by the following steps:

1. Click on the Apple icon at the top, left-hand corner of the screen and select System Preferences.
2. Click on Security & Privacy.
3. Click on the Firewall tab. If the padlock icon is showing a closed lock, click on it to unlock it, which will require that you provide credentials for an account with administrator level access to the system.

Then click on Firewall Options. You should see iPerf listed. If you see «Block incoming connections» click on «Block incoming connections» and choose «Allow incoming connections» instead.

You can then close the Security & Privacy window.

You can determine if iperf is allowed to accept incoming connections from a command line interface (CLI), e.g., a Terminal window — the Terminal program is found in the Applications/Utilities directory — by using the socketfilterfw —listapps command as shown below:

The above command shows the status of firewall rules for other applications as well; you can restrict the displayed output to just the rule for iperf with the command shown below:

If the firewall software on the system is blocking incoming connectivity to iperf, you would see the following, instead.

To run iPerf in client mode to connect to an external iPerf system, use the command iperf -c remotehost where remotehost is the IP address or fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for the remote system. E.g., the iPerf output included below is from a test to a publicly available iPerf server, bouygues.testdebit.info .

iPerf 3 Wifi Speed Test 4+

Frederic Sagnes

Для iPad

Описание

Online performance tests will tell you how fast your Internet connection is overall, but your service provider’s speed is not the only factor: Wifi itself can significantly affect speed, latency and reliability. And with broadband Internet connections getting faster and faster, Wifi usually already is the bottleneck.

This app requires an iPerf 3 server and will help you set it up on your computer. You will then be able to test your Wifi connection in isolation of your Internet connection across your home or office and tell your exactly what bandwidth you can expect in every room. You can then adjust your settings and move access points around or decide to upgrade your equipment until you achieve super solid Wifi.

If you are already familiar with iPerf 3, here is what you can expect from this app:

* tiny: the app only embeds the iPerf library and UI code

* modern: based on the latest open source stable iPerf 3.6 codebase

* stable: we ran extensive tests to assess stability and give you the most accurate performance numbers

* fast: the app has been tested for memory leaks, does all the processing in a background thread and has been analysed with Instruments to make it as fast as we can

* simple: the UI is really simple and maps straight to iPerf command line parameters, and the embedded help section will assist you in getting started and provide advice on how to achieve the best possible Wifi performance

* open source: no surprises, you can look at the source code on GitHub which is what we use to build the app

Ratings and Reviews

No User Guide/Instructions

APP seems to open OK, no issues for downloading and opening, But there is no user guide and no info on what to inter in ToS. Need some instructions then I can evaluate. At the moment I’ m using the full iperf command in basic terminal cmd window. Would really like to have an APP to simplify perf utilization. Make sure the developer, RAZ ADMIN, Luis Rueda Diez gets this review.

It does a great work

Ok i have been using it for a while and it just got an iperf version update which is great. Interface is easy to understand and use. Very happy with it and most important very stable and never crashed on me.

It works

This is an easy and fairly graphic way to run an perf test. I found it bo be fairly intuitive, but simple things like labeling the buttons and providing more robust documentation would push it up a star or two. For me, it was worth it, since I often need to test throughput on my network connections, but I would love to see it polished up.

Roam:
Is your wireless network optimized for VoIP or Voice over WLAN(VoWLAN)? Does the deployment of 802.11r and 802.11k improved the inter AP roaming performance? Any RF(radio frequency)coverage blind spot? This is the tool designed to measure and optimize/improve your WiFi network with real iOS devices, the iOS end users’ roaming satisfaction will be improved after RF optimization.

This tool is not only for admin of Enterprise network but also for regular users since it also supports ping(ICMP), with the most advanced options being supported, e.g fast ping, multicast and broadcast ping, ToS(type of service) or QoS(Quality Of Service), jumbo packet etc.

Features:
— Graphing roaming test result to easily find out the longest roaming time caused by not optmized Wi-Fi AP deployment
— The only Ping(ICMP) implementation on IOS that supports advanced ping options.
— min/avg/max RTT(round-trip time) output to compare test result of static and roaming scenario
— Supports setting of ToS(Type of Service) to simulate the Voice or Video traffic(roaming with high priority traffic)
— Supports fast ping to simulate file downloading sort of high speed traffic(roaming with high speed traffic)
— Supports multicast and broadcast ping(roaming with VLC multicast video or multicast video conference, the broadcast ping will find out the rest host within the same subnet)
— Automatically copy testing output to clipboard for paste
