Netio

Nice, thanks for putting in the public domain. I have some issues with the results though. Perhaps you can explain. I see rather large difference in numbers reported by netio and ftp. specifically

NETIO - Network Throughput Benchmark, Version 1.26
(C) 1997-2005 Kai Uwe Rommel

TCP connection established.
Packet size 1k bytes: 1134 KByte/s Tx, 894 KByte/s Rx.
Packet size 2k bytes: 1765 KByte/s Tx, 593 KByte/s Rx.
Packet size 4k bytes: 344 KByte/s Tx, 101 KByte/s Rx.
Packet size 8k bytes: 169 KByte/s Tx, 285 KByte/s Rx.
Packet size 16k bytes: 708 KByte/s Tx, 134 KByte/s Rx.
Packet size 32k bytes: 250 KByte/s Tx, 123 KByte/s Rx.
Done.

I think these should be about the same. Am I missing anything?

Thanks, does precisely what I was looking for!
Thanks for this very useful utility, it is precisely what I was

looking for. It compiled without any problems on my Apple

PPC PowerBook (OS X 10.4.11) with "make macosx".

My first speed test resulted in 94Mbps between my macmini

and my powerbook. These were connected over cat5e cable

and a gigabit router. With the 100Mbps ethernet ports on

both the macmini and the powerbook that makes perfect

sense.

The main reason for me being interested in NETIO is to test

a pair of Netgear XE104 Powerline 4-Port Ethernet Adapters

that will be arriving in in a few days.

Great Util
This is a great little utility, and thanks for precompiling for all the platforms (located in the /bin dir in the zipfile)

thx :)

Re: Lame webpage
Perhaps if you gave some idea of what exactly you couldn't get working and what you did, people would be able to help.

FWIW - netio is not open source, it is for non-commercial use only. Unfortunately.

Re: Lame webpage
On the other hand, what is the point of an open source project if I can't make it work??? I agree, we should all be grateful to everyone that contributes to open source projects, and believe me, I am, but PLEASE try to make your projects as easy to get working as possible. I can't contribute to your project if I'm not smart enough to make it work.
