NetIO is a program that measures network speed between two computers. The platform comes in client mode (for one computer) and server mode (for the other) and its operation is very simple. The tool pings the destination computer and calculates transfer and reception speed by sending packets of different sizes. The environment stores network speed statistics in a database that you can access at any time.
How to view the network transfer speed between two computers?
NetIO is a portable program that you can run from a USB device. This is an advantage so that the database remains in a single place. First you'll need to install the tool on one computer in client mode and on the other in server mode. In client mode, you'll need to enter the IP of the destination computer (the server). Then you'll need to click the "Start measure" button. At this point the environment will begin sending packets of 1k, 2k, 4k, 8k, 16k and 32k to measure the network speed (it supports TCP and UDP protocols).
After a moment, you'll be able to view the total record of the bandwidth speed tests. To do this, you'll need to go to the top menu and click File and select Result Database to access the statistics.
Really the platform uses a very simple method to see the transfer speed of a network between two computers. What we have noticed is that packet sending between the computers in some tests takes too long. But it's a very useful environment both for beginning users and network professionals to accurately visualize the bandwidth speed between two computers. NetIO is available for Windows operating systems.
