LANBench is a software for Windows designed to test how well local area networks perform. It is possible to check the speed and reliability of internet connections.
Simplicity
The utility is portable, thus, does not require installation. Users can run the testing on the go without registration or authorization procedures. LANBench works in the background and does consume much when it comes to system resources. Moreover, it is possible to let the analyzer launch automatically after starting PCs.
Monitoring LANs
There is an option to listen to servers and check how well internet connections are working. Users can regularly run tests to monitor the performance. To be exact, it is possible to see both sending and receiving traffic. The metrics are displayed in kilobytes per second. The application provides information on average and current statistics for analyzing.
