Measuring Throughput

Introduction

Having installed your ByteBlower system and checking that it works (quick self-test), you might be wondering what else you can do with it! There are endless possibilities so we will look at some basic use cases for the ByteBlower GUI to answer typical questions that testers have. One such example is:

  • What is the maximum throughput of my system? 

This is a common question that a system user has and so in this article, we will guide you through a series of basic tests that can help you learn information about a system's throughput capabilities.  

This article will cover:

1) ðŸ“„ Setting up a UDP flow

2) ðŸ“„ Setting up a TCP test

The LAN and WAN ports will be connected to different trunk ports on the ByteBlower server which will enable different scenarios to be tested.
