IP QoS Tester

Quality of Service (QoS) measurement for IP transmissions

 

IP QoS Tester is a very easy solution to measure the most important parameters concerning Quality of Service (QoS) over IP networks.

IP QoS Tester enables you to monitor the quality of the connection between different machines or different sites of your company or organization.

IP QoS Tester exists for Raspberry Pi, Linux and Windows.

IP QoS Tester is a console application (with a web interface) on Raspberry Pi and Linux, and an application with a GUI on Windows.

On Raspbery Pi, IP QoS Tester is extremely convenient, with the following features:

  • You can measure UDP packets loss, delay, jitter (mean and max), corruption, re-ordering (mean and max)
  • You can define the value of the DSCP field (the field in IP packets for QoS)
  • Works with Ethernet and/or Wifi
  • Small
  • Cheap
  • Low-consuption
  • Light-weight
  • Fan-free
  • 24/7/365 IP QoS monitoring
  • Web interface
  • API

IP QoS Tester enables testing and monitoring of IP connections, effectively replacing tools such as ping, iperf, nping, and ncat.

The screenshots presented on this page come from the Windows version. The Linux and Raspberry Pi versions don't use a GUI (they are command line tools).

Conclusion

IP QoS Tester is a set of 3 tools: Sender, Receiver and Reflector.

IP QoS Tester measures the packets loss, delay, jitter (mean and max), reordering (mean and max) and corruption of packets sent from one machine to another.

There are two ways to use IP QoS Tester:
