Visit| Fact | iPerf2 | Ostinato |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | iPerf2 measures network traffic performance, including throughput, latency, link capacity, and responsiveness. | Ostinato generates, customizes, or replays L2/L3 traffic to validate throughput, QoS, multicast, routing, switching, protocol behavior, and network performance. |
It suits people who need to measure TCP or UDP network behavior across supported platforms, including self-hosted setups. The socket-level measurement limit and lack of interoperability with iPerf3 matter when choosing it.
Ostinato suits network engineers validating traffic behavior, performance, and protocol handling. Its API and lab integrations also fit automated testing and virtual network environments.
