This software is designed as a utility for testing file server performance.
Using LanTest, you can easily identify bottlenecks, troubleshoot issues, and maintain your network. The results of the tests performed by LanTest are detailed and easily interpreted, making it a valuable tool for any network administrator or developer.
With the latest version, LanTest 3.1, you can now test the read and write performance of faster networks, specifically Fast Ethernet or FDDI and Gigabit Ethernet, using 30 MB or 3 MB files. This is especially useful if you're using TCP/IP transport instead of AppleTalk. For networks with even faster speeds, such as the new Gigabit Ethernet, performance testing can now be done with 300 MB files.
In addition, LanTest is capable of testing any AppleTalk PAP compliant PostScript device of type LaserWriter. With its ease of use and high level of functionality, LanTest is an essential tool for anyone working with AppleShare services.
