This free-to-use, single-file executable integrates an embedded database, charting capabilities, and a web portal user interface, enabling continuous monitoring and analysis of network conditions.
Key Features and Functionality:
- TCP Bandwidth Testing: Simulates Speedtest.net-like servers, allowing deployment in any network environment to measure upload and download speeds with customizable parameters such as duration, number of threads, and specific TCP ports.
- UDP Packet Loss Monitoring: Emulates UDP streams, like those used in voice and video applications, to assess packet loss, with configurable throughput, duration, packet size, and UDP port selection.
- Web Server Response Time Analysis: Monitors the response times of specified web servers, triggering alarms if user-defined thresholds are exceeded.
- UDP and TCP Jitter and Latency Measurement: Evaluates network stability by measuring jitter and latency for both UDP and TCP protocols, with customizable message exchanges and port selections.
- Firewall Testing: Assesses firewall egress port blocking that may interfere with applications by testing any or all 64,000 TCP and UDP ports, alerting users if ports are blocked.
- TCP Port Checking: Verifies open TCP port listeners on specified web servers, ensuring proper network configurations.
