Overview
This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for maintenance, updates, and optional technical support provided by the seller.
IPerf on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS is a preconfigured Amazon Machine Image (AMI) designed for network performance measurement and bandwidth testing on AWS EC2. It allows users to measure TCP and UDP throughput, jitter, and packet loss between endpoints.
iPerf is a powerful, open-source network performance testing tool designed to accurately measure the maximum achievable bandwidth, throughput, jitter, and packet loss between two systems over IP networks. It operates in a client-server model, where one system runs as an iPerf server and another acts as a client to initiate and control network tests.
The tool supports both TCP and UDP protocols, allowing users to evaluate real-world network behavior under different traffic conditions. With TCP tests, iPerf measures data transfer rates and congestion control performance, while UDP tests help assess packet loss, jitter, and latency-sensitive application behavior.
iPerf provides advanced testing capabilities such as parallel data streams, bidirectional testing, customizable test durations, bandwidth limits, and buffer size tuning. It also supports modern networking features including IPv6, TCP congestion algorithm selection, CPU affinity, socket pacing, authentication, and zero-copy data transfer, making it suitable for high-performance and enterprise-grade network environments.
Widely used by network administrators, system engineers, cloud architects, and DevOps teams, iPerf is an essential tool for network troubleshooting, capacity planning, performance benchmarking, and validation of on-premise, cloud, and hybrid network infrastructures.

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.
