Abstract

Nowadays, there are a wide variety of network benchmark tools, giving researchers and network administrators many options to work with. However, this variety tends to hinder the selection process of the appropriate tool. Furthermore, sometimes users are forced to try several tools in order to find one that calculates a desired gauge, so they have to learn how to manipulate different tools and how to interpret the obtained results. This research offers a compilation of network benchmark tools currently used, with the purpose of guiding the selection of one tool over the others, by outlining their main features, strengths and weaknesses.
