NETIO - Network Benchmark, Version 1.33
(C) 1997-2012 Kai Uwe Rommel

Amiga port in 2019 by Henryk Richter 


This is a network benchmark for
DOS, OS/2, Windows, Linux and Unix that
measures net througput of a network
with TCP and UDP protocols.

Amiga port notes:

The previous Amiga ports were using ixemul.library. I didn`t 
like the additional turnaround time when calling netio. Hence,
here is a version that`s linked against libnix. It`s way shorter,
and supports some of the original program`s features that were 
previously not working on AmigaOS.

This version supports TCP benchmarking as client and (new) as server.
You need a second computer equipped with Netio as other endpoint of 
the benchmarking. In this AmigaOS3 port, UDP works in client mode only. 

The binary named "netio" is for MC68020+ CPUs. Please use "netio68000" on
MC68000 and MC68010.



Quick start example:

Let`s assume the following for a common TCP test:

Computer1 with IP-Address 10.0.0.1
Computer2 with IP-Address 10.0.0.2
shell/cli/command window open and Netio in path

CLI on Computer1, start in server mode: 
netio -s

CLI on Computer2:
netio -t 10.0.0.1


For UDP testing, you need to start the netio server on a Windows, *nix or 
OSX host. Furthermore, transmitted/received packets need to be shorter than 
or at most equal to the maximum transmission unit (MTU). In case of classic 
Ethernet, the maximum UDP payload size is 1472 (1500-IP_Header-UDP_Header).

CLI on Computer2:
netio -b 1472 -u 10.0.0.1
