Net Runner

Net Runner is a simple and straightforward piece of software that you can use to run benchmarks on the performance of your network in just a few steps. It primarily concerns advanced users, such as network administrators.

The setup operation quickly finishes and does not demand special attention from the user.

The app is wrapped in a standard window with a plain layout, which doesn't strive in the visual department. However, we must take into account that the app has not been updated for a very long time.

Net Runner is capable of performing average, TCP and UDP tests, in order to reveal a graphical representation of the network evolution when it comes to the downloaded and uploaded packets. You can run up to three TCP tests and three UDP tests (upload, download, total).

It is possible to specify the time length for each benchmark (in seconds), along with the node port number and IP address, and client IP address. Results can be saved to an XML file for further analysis.

Net Runner barely uses CPU and system memory, so it doesn't concern the computer's activity. It has a good response time and runs benchmarks swiftly, without freezing, crashing or showing error notifications; we haven't come across any problems in our tests. In conclusion, Net Runner offers a simple solution to performing a simple test on the network performance.
