Iperf client?

[mr-b]

Hi

I’d like to verify the performance of my CE boxes to my Windows server, but am having trouble finding how to run iperf. Several posts quote iperf test results but not how they invoke it.
I guessed it might be in system tools but with no luck.

How can I run it, or is there some other CIFS/SMB perf client?

Entware package manager

I have been toying with the idea of adding support for the entware package manager to CoreELEC. Entware is similar to apt/yum/pacman in that it will allow you to install over 2000+ linux applications with ease, no longer would there be a need to use docker or hacky addons to install your favourite applications. This is something that some people in their infinite wisdom have resisted users calls to add in the past, entware packages were designed originally to run on routers and other low power…

You can install iperf from entware using ssh.

Or just install Network tools addon from CoreELEC repository.

Ah thanks, that’s where it is. I confess I find the Kodi addons rather impenetrable as they are so hierarchical to navigate.
