Rust clone of Kai Uwe Rommels' NETIO Benchmark that I've always greatly enjoyed using, but that (imho) has a couple downsides:
- It was Not Invented Here (obviously)
- The server side output differs from the client side and is far less readable
- The license prevents it from ever hitting any repos (and Kai does not provide his own)
And because I wanted to take a look at Rust anyway, I thought I'd go ahead and write a clone for fun and great justice.
- Nice tabular output on both client and server side
- IPv6 ready
- Tests with extremely small packets (like those of an SSH connection when someone's extremely good at typing)
- binaries for Windows and Linux available (64 bit
--releasebuilds)

Here's how to use it. Server side:

Netio uses TCP port 55455. The client always connects to the server, and then traffic flows in both ways. This way you can easily test your internet connection by running the server on an online node and the client on your notebook.
git clone https://github.com/Svedrin/netio.git
cd netio
cargo build --release
Note that the debug build seems to only reach throughput rates around 1.3Gbit/s, so if you're
going to benchmark a 10GE link, you need to build netio with --release.
