iPerfman Pro helps you measure network performance between your device and a compatible iperf3 server. Run TCP or UDP tests on iPhone, iPad and Mac, with no daily test limit or subscription in this paid app. Measure and investigate: - Test upload, download or both directions; view each direction's results separately. - Follow throughput in live charts. View UDP jitter and packet loss, TCP retransmissions, and round-trip time when those measurements are available. - Set test duration, parallel streams, bitrate limits, DSCP/QoS markings and other iperf3 parameters. - Run a server and choose a specific IPv4/IPv6 interface or listen on all interfaces. - Save completed tests with their configuration and interval results. Rerun a test, compare two records or share a report without exporting authentication secrets. - Keep server presets and export logs for further analysis. iPerfman Pro uses iperf3 3.21 through IperfSwift. A compatible server or second device is required for a network test; this is not an internet speed-test service. The Apple TV app uses a separate interface and has a different feature set.
