Microsoft NTTTCP

NTTTCP is an extended version of the NTTCP (Network Throughput Testing Tool) developed by Microsoft. This tool is used to measure network throughput between two Windows systems and allows users to evaluate network performance metrics such as bandwidth, latency, and packet loss.

Download the tool from the official Microsoft GitHub repository https://github.com/microsoft/ntttcp or other Microsoft download channels.

  1. Start server: ntttcp.exe -s -m <no-of-connections>,<mapping-type>,<local-ip> -t <duration> -p <port-number>

    Example command:

    ntttcp.exe -s -m 8,1,192.168.11.22 -t 30 -p 7001
  2. Start client: ntttcp.exe -r -m <no-of-connections>,<mapping-type>,<server-ip> -t <duration> -p <port-number>

    Example command:

    ntttcp.exe -r -m 8,*,192.168.11.22 -t 30 -p 7001

    Where * indicates that the tool should automatically detect the local IP address for the other endpoint.
