The Netio project is a software that serves as a network benchmark tool. It is designed to test and measure the speed and performance of data transfer across a network.
Netio project is a powerful network benchmarking tool that measures the net throughput of a network via TCP/IP (and NetBIOS on Windows and OS/2) using various different packet sizes. It's easy to use, with one instance running as a server process on one machine and another instance on another machine to perform the benchmark.
When executed without arguments, the program will explain its usage. Netio project comes with full source code included, which can be compiled using IBM VisualAge C++ for OS/2 or Windows. Alternatively, gcc can be used under Unix. Starting with version 1.17, gcc (MinGW) can be used for Windows.
Version 1.20 of Netio now requires multi-threading support, with pthreads (tested with Linux) under Unix. Therefore, DOS is no longer supported beginning with version 1.20. Netio project includes a few executable files, built for OS/2, Windows NT/2000, and Linux by the author.
However, other executable files (if any) are contributions from other people who ported the benchmark to their platform. Those executables may be out of date now, based on earlier versions of Netio. Especially, executables of version 1.16 and newer will not communicate with versions below 1.16.
Overall, Netio project is a reliable and effective solution for measuring the net throughput of a network. It includes minor bug fixes and code cleanup, making it an excellent choice for anyone concerned with accurate network benchmarking.
