Question 1 of 12
What is the primary purpose of iPerf and how does it relate to measuring network throughput?
Strong Interview Answer
iPerf is designed to generate traffic between endpoints and measure achievable network throughput, making it appropriate for controlled path testing. This allows technicians to isolate and quantify the impact of network elements on data transfer rates.
What to Listen For
- traffic generation
- endpoint measurement
- throughput quantification
- controlled path testing
