  2. Network performance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_performance

    For discussions of this type, the terms 'throughput' and 'bandwidth' are often used interchangeably. The Time Window is the period over which the throughput is measured. The choice of an appropriate time window will often dominate calculations of throughput, and whether latency is taken into account or not will determine whether the latency ...

  3. Network throughput - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_throughput

    The asymptotic throughput (less formal asymptotic bandwidth) for a packet-mode communication network is the value of the maximum throughput function, when the incoming network load approaches infinity, either due to a message size, [3] or the number of data sources.

  4. Measuring network throughput - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measuring_network_throughput

    The throughput is then calculated by dividing the file size by the time to get the throughput in megabits, kilobits, or bits per second. Unfortunately, the results of such an exercise will often result in the goodput which is less than the maximum theoretical data throughput, leading to people believing that their communications link is not ...

  5. Network traffic measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_traffic_measurement

    Network performance could be measured using either active or passive techniques. Active techniques (e.g. Iperf) are more intrusive but are arguably more accurate. Passive techniques have less network overhead and hence can run in the background to be used to trigger network management actions.

  6. Transmission time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_time

    Packet delivery time = Transmission time + Propagation delay. In case of a network connection mediated by several physical links and forwarding nodes, the network delivery time depends on the sum of the delivery times of each link, and also on the packet queuing time (which is varying and depends on the traffic load from other connections) and ...

  7. Bandwidth (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandwidth_(computing)

    The consumed bandwidth in bit/s, corresponds to achieved throughput or goodput, i.e., the average rate of successful data transfer through a communication path.The consumed bandwidth can be affected by technologies such as bandwidth shaping, bandwidth management, bandwidth throttling, bandwidth cap, bandwidth allocation (for example bandwidth allocation protocol and dynamic bandwidth ...

  8. Internet traffic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_traffic

    There is a vast range of methods to allocate Internet traffic including exact traffic, for instance, port (computer networking) number, payload, heuristic, or statistical machine learning. Accurate network traffic classification is elementary to quite a few Internet activities, from security monitoring to accounting and from the quality of ...

  9. Iperf - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iperf

    iperf, Iperf, or iPerf, is a tool for network performance measurement and tuning. It is a cross-platform tool that can produce standardized performance measurements for any network. iperf has client and server functionality, and can create data streams to measure the throughput between the two ends in one or both directions.
