SoftEther VPN's L2TP VPN Server has strong compatible with, and.SoftEther VPN is not only an alternative VPN server to existing VPN products (OpenVPN, IPsec and MS-SSTP). SoftEther VPN has also to penetrate any kinds of firewalls.

Ultra-optimized SSL-VPN Protocol of SoftEther VPN has very fast throughput, low latency and firewall resistance.SoftEther VPN has than ever. Penetrates your network admin's troublesome firewall for overprotection. You can setup your own VPN server behind the firewall or NAT in your company, and you can reach to that VPN server in the corporate private network from your home or mobile place, without any modification of firewall settings.

If you have ever commissioned a new network, then you will know how important it is to benchmark the environment before it is signed off and brought online. Likewise, it is a good idea to Stress Test and Generate Network Traffic on existing networks to try and find any areas that need attention, such as packet loss and connection drops. For testing purposes, Multi Server Simulator simulates large, virtual HTTP, FTP, SMTP, or DNS server networks, as well as SNMP-based network switches. It is an indispensable tool for the evaluation and testing of network management and network testing.

Any deep-packet inspection firewalls cannot detect SoftEther VPN's transport packets as a VPN tunnel, because SoftEther VPN uses Ethernet over HTTPS for camouflage.Easy to imagine, design and implement your VPN topology with SoftEther VPN. It virtualizes.

SoftEther VPN Client implements, and SoftEther VPN Server implements. You can easily build both and, as expansion of Ethernet-based L2 VPN. Of course, can be built by SoftEther VPN.SoftEther VPN has strong compatibility to today's most popular VPN products among the world. It has the interoperability with OpenVPN, L2TP, IPsec, EtherIP, L2TPv3, Cisco VPN Routers and MS-SSTP VPN Clients. SoftEther VPN is the world's only VPN software which supports SSL-VPN, OpenVPN, L2TP, EtherIP, L2TPv3 and IPsec, as a single VPN software.SoftEther VPN is free software because it was developed as in the University. You can and from today.

Of SoftEther VPN is available under the Apache License 2.0.Features of SoftEther VPN. Architecture of SoftEther VPNVirtualization of Ethernet devices is the key of the SoftEther VPN architecture.

SoftEther VPN virtualizes Ethernet devices in order to realize a flexible virtual private network for both. SoftEther VPN implements the Virtual Network Adapter program as a software-emulated traditional Ethernet network adapter. SoftEther VPN implements the Virtual Ethernet Switch program (called ) as a software-emulated traditional Ethernet switch.

SoftEther VPN implements VPN Session as a software-emulated Ethernet cable between the network adapter and the switch.You can create one or many with SoftEther VPN on your server computer. This server computer will become a, which accepts VPN connection requests from computers.You can create one or many with SoftEther VPN on your client computer. This client computer will become a VPN client, which establishes a VPN connections to the Virtual Hub on the VPN server.You can establish VPN sessions, as called 'VPN tunnels', between VPN clients and VPN servers. A VPN session is the virtualized network cable. A VPN session is realized over a TCP/IP connection. The signals through the VPN session is encrypted by SSL.

Therefore, you can safely establish a VPN session beyond the Internet. A VPN session is established by SoftEther VPN's. It means that SoftEther VPN can create a VPN connection beyond.The Virtual Hub exchanges all Ethernet packets from each connected VPN session to other connected sessions. The behavior is same to traditional Ethernet switches.

The Virtual Hub has a FDB (forwarding database) to optimize the transmission of Ethernet frames.You can define a between the Virtual Hub and the existing physical Ethernet segment by using the Local Bridge function. The Local Bridge exchanges packets between the physical Ethernet adapter and the Virtual Hub. You can realize a from home or mobile to the company network by using the Local Bridge function.You can define a between two or more remote Virtual Hubs.

With cascading, you can integrate two or more remote Ethernet segments to a single Ethernet segment. For example, after you establish cascading connections between the site A, B and C, then any computers in the site A will be able to communicate with the computers in the site B and the site C. This is a.SoftEther VPN can also establish a VPN session over UDP.

The UDP-mode of SoftEther VPN supports. The NAT traversal function allows the VPN server behind existing NATs or firewalls to accept incoming VPN sessions.

You need no network administrator's special permission before setting up a VPN server on the company network behind firewalls or NATs. Additionally, SoftEther VPN Server may be placed on the dynamic IP address environment since SoftEther VPN has built-in function.SoftEther VPN Server supports additional VPN protocols, including,. These realizes the interoperability with, and also with and other vendors VPN products. Are you a business man and running around the world?

Most of Wi-Fi and local ISPs of several countries are discomfort to use because of packet filtering or censorship. So set up your private relay server on your own home PC and use it from fields to gain ease.Does your network administrator hesitates to assign you a global IP address? Or Does your company has a firewall on the border between the private network and the Internet? SoftEther VPN has a strong function to penetrate troublesome corporate firewalls. If the corporate firewall is more restricted and the NAT Traversal of SoftEther VPN doesn't work correctly, use VPN Azure to penetrate such a firewall.IPsec-based VPN protocols which are developed on 1990's are now obsoleted. IPsec-based VPN are not familiar with most of firewalls, NATs or proxies.

Unlike IPsec-based VPN, SoftEther VPN is familiar with any kind of firewalls. Additionally SoftEther VPN requires no expensive Cisco or other hardware devices. You can replace your Cisco or OpenVPN to SoftEther VPN today.

IntroductionThroughput testing is useful during network deployments, changes, and troubleshooting. You can benchmark performance and find bottlenecks in the network to ensure you're getting the speeds and bandwidth you require or should be getting. There are many network testing tools out there and here I take a look at a couple. IxChariotis commercial enterprise-level network assessment tool that can simulate real-world network environments and applications at the transport layer (Layer 4), supporting testing via TCP, UDP, RTP, IPX, SPX, IPv4, IPv6, IP Multicast, and VoIP. You can measure throughput, jitter, packet loss, end-to-end delay, MOS and MDI. It's offered as a Windows-based console but also provides endpoint software for many platforms, including Windows CE, Linux, Sun Solaris, Novell Netware, and others.IxChariot is highly customizable and uses application scripts to simulate varying types of enterprise, triple-play and Internet traffic, and includes over 150 preconfigured scripts.

You can embed custom payloads to test specific data content across the network. It can also simulate a variety of applications/protocols: Active Directory, Microsoft Exchange, POP3, HTTP/HTTPS, FTP, SMTP, and more. TamoSoft Throughput Testis a free Windows-based utility; one of many network tools TamoSoft offers. It can test TCP and UDP simultaneously in both directions, or TCP by itself, supporting either IPv4 or IPv6.

Once started, it continuously sends data streams and reports the upstream and downstream throughput values in Mbps, UDP packet loss percentage, and round-trip time. It gives a numeric readout and offers live chart views as well. You can also test with varying Quality of Service (QoS) settings too.Once you install TamoSoft Throughput Test you'll find a server application, which you want to run on one of the endpoints.

If you don't want to test via a custom port or via IPv6 you simply open the server and there's nothing else to do.Then on the other endpoint you run the client application to configure and initialize the test. You simply enter the IP address of where the server is installed and click Connect. You can optionally specify a custom port to test through, change the QoS settings to test with, or choose to test TCP only. Once the test is started, it continues until you click Disconnect. For the throughput values it will show current measurements and also an average value over the test period. NetStressis a free Windows-based throughput testing utility from, which offers many other network tools too. It can test TCP and UDP simultaneously or independently with multiple data streams and variable segment size, packets per second, and MTU.

However, it only can test via IPv4 and data is sent unidirectionaly; uplink or downlink must be tested individually.NetStress is offered via a single application; it can serve as the server, client, or both. Once you open it you can click the Remote Receiver IP to select a node that's been auto-discovered, or manually type in the IP address. After testing starts you'll see the timecourse graphs showing the total throughput for both the transmitter and receiver. You can optionally view graphs for TCP and UDP.

Plus you can always see the running averages and standard deviations for both the transmitter and receiver. The results can be displayed via different units: KBps, Kbps, MBps, Mbps.

LAN Speed Testfrom Totusoft is offered for Windows and Mac OS X. They provide a free lite version, a full version for $6, and an add-on for $6 to measure more accurately. In addition to testing LAN throughput, it can test file transfer, hard drive, and USB Drive performance.

The program is a small portable executable and doesn't require installation. It can test without running on the endpoint as it can use a network share. And if you purchase the add-on (LST Server) you can also test against their own server for more realistic network results.The lite version offers basic testing functions with an adjustable test packet size up to 9 GB. The full version supports up to 25 multiple simultaneous streams with the ability to send up to 1,000 successive packets. It can show results in the different measurement units. It also adds many usability, logging, and exporting features.

Plus it offers a scheduling feature and ability to email results and/or alerts. IPERFis an open source, cross-platform, command-line throughput testing tool.

It runs on various platforms including Linux, Unix and Windows. It's also accessible via a GUI with.

It can test using TCP and UDP data streams unidirectionally or bi-directionally and reports throughput, delay jitter, and datagram loss. Its customizable various testing parameters SummaryWe took a look at a few network throughput testing tools. IxChariot is one of the most feature-rich advanced tools that will likely give you the most accurate results. However, if you're working with a smaller network, one of the free or cheap solutions may be enough. Associated tc4 setup sheet for this tool download.

Just remember that network testing can be highly sensitive and results from different tools can vary dramatically.
