Overview
High-Performance Network Testing with iPerf3
iPerf3 is a lightweight, open-source network performance measurement tool used to test bandwidth, latency, and packet loss between two systems. It operates in a client-server model and is widely used by network engineers and system administrators to evaluate and troubleshoot network performance over TCP and UDP connections.
Designed for modern networking environments, iPerf3 provides accurate and real-time throughput analysis, helping users identify bottlenecks and optimize network configurations. It supports multi-platform deployment including Linux, Windows, and macOS, and can also be run efficiently using Docker containers for easy setup and portability.
iPerf3 allows users to simulate different traffic patterns, test upload and download speeds, and measure jitter and packet loss in UDP streams. Its simplicity and flexibility make it an essential tool for validating network capacity in data centers, cloud infrastructure, and enterprise networks.
Whether used for basic speed testing or advanced network diagnostics, iPerf3 provides reliable and consistent performance metrics, making it a standard tool for network performance benchmarking and analysis.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
