AppNeta Launches Enhanced Free PathTest Network Bandwidth Testing Tool

AppNeta, the leading provider of cloud-based network performance management services announced the launch of the newest version of PathTest, a free bandwidth testing tool. PathTest provides the most accurate results possible for determining the maximum capacity between any two end points over any network. The latest update to PathTest expands the platforms supported for testing, including Microsoft (News - Alert) Windows, 32 and 64-bit Linux, Max OS X and all models of AppNeta's PathView Cloud Appliances.

"PathTest was developed and designed for anyone who needs to know 'How fast can my network deliver data successfully'," said Fred Klassen, PathTest creator and co-founder of AppNeta. "PathTest has been designed from the ground up to deliver better accuracy tan other free capacity testing tools like iPerf, while also providing a far wider range of protocol and testing options to better match various network configurations."

For many years, network engineers have relied on basic flooding tools such as iPerf to understand their bandwidth capacity. PathTest offers accuracy above and beyond any other free tool available, using precision packet-flooding techniques to completely fill up the network path to its absolute maximum capacity. PathTest features critical application protocols including TCP, UDP (News - Alert) or ICMP, and it supports DSCP markings to test performance with QoS enforcement. PathTest also allows specification for several run-time options for the volume of traffic to be generated including total packets sent, packet size, maximum allowed bandwidth and one-way or bi-directional testing. PathTest is available for free at www.testmypath.com.

PathTest is one of the many integrated capabilities of AppNeta's award-winning PathView Cloud solution. PathView Cloud provides the same accurate bandwidth testing as PathTest but without flooding the network. The PathView Cloud technology also offers unlimited insight of QoS verification, application performance monitoring, remote network traffic analysis, packet capture, and visibility out to third party and carrier networks. Within just two years, AppNeta has grown to offer thousands of customers unparalleled performance insight, and has also become the de facto standard solution for assessing, monitoring and troubleshooting IP voice services.
