Load tester

Hello...

I need to find a free load tester for my network. The software installer
says my clients network is causing his application to be slow and it is
causing errors.

I need to run some tests to find out what could be causing the problem.
Maybe it is his application.

Does anyone have a program that will allow me to pass large amounts of data
from one computer to another and give me an error I can check out if it
fails?

Thanks in advance...

ping -l 1500 -n 1000 -w 5 target
Should never have more than 5% of loss (that's already very high)

You can launch many ping at the same time

Which protocol does use this software ? netbios share ? web service ? SQL ?

I think it uses FoxPro.

that recall me bad thinks..
Like access, it's heavy on netbios share access (files).

First, test the network with these ping.

Then you may investigate on the filer performance (handling receive windows
on the network card...)

If your not sure, a batch file that copies, queries and pings either
the perticular machine or several machines around your network,
(personally I would have it running on serval machines and sending it
everywhere) leave it in a goto loop and monitor the results with a
packet sniffer (just a quick goole should give you plenty.)
leave it to simmer overnight and voila, beef stew in the morning!

iPerf is useful. You might like to follow up these notes I hurriedly
copied from a surfing session last night:

5 packets transmitted, 5 packets received, 0.0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 57.696/59.380/61.403 ms
The output (last line) shows the average round-trip-time was 59.38
milliseconds (middle number). The minimum delay (57.696 milliseconds) and
maximum delay (61.403 milliseconds) are quite close to each other (the
difference is only 2.023), which is an indication of low delay jitter. On a
high-delay jitter path, the maximum delay could possibly be as long as
twice of the minimum delay. The delay jitter is usually considered low when
the maximum delay is no more than 10-20% longer than the minimum delay.
