iPerf on Fritzbox stock firmware
2.10.2020iPerf is a great cli tool to measure raw network throughput between two devices. I often
use it with OpenWrt and while talking about AVMs Fritzbox routers during a Freifunk Berlin meeting, Nicolas mentioned that there is a little-known support interface with their stock firmware at
https://fritz.box/support.lua that offers starting an iPerf server – look for Durchsatzmessungen
. Very handy.
Note that on client side, parameter -p 4711
is required for the non-standard port.
