iPerfman is an iPerf3 tool that supports all apple platforms: iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and tvOS. The iperf series of tools perform active measurements to determine the maximum achievable bandwidth on IP networks. Beautiful speedometer and speed chart. You can test the LAN network speed to find the best WIFI router location. You can test more complex networks by manually setting test parameters, for example, to test the performance of UDP mode, and use the bandwidth-limiting functionality to simulate a bandwidth-constrained network environment. Overall, iPerfman is a powerful network speed measurement tool that helps you evaluate network performance and provides a better network experience. Pro features: 1. Additional parameters settings 2. Unlimited number of tests 3. Universal Purchase, one-time purchase full platform use. The iPerf v3.20 code is currently used.
