      Did a search already for iperf and checked the document wiki.  Can anyone tell me how to use the iperf package in pfSense.  Is this supposed to allow you to test throughput between 2 pfSense boxes since there is a a client and server tab.  Or between pfSense and PC?

        I havent looked at the package but it might help if you just read theman page of iperf
        http://staff.science.uva.nl/~jblom/gigaport/tools/man/iperf.html

        Iperf can run as server or as client with the same binary.

        You can test the throughput between 2 PC's, or between a PC and pfSense or between 2xpfSense, just whatever you want :)

          Thx.  Will check it out.  Need to test throughput on wireless bridge to see if it is capable of handing 10-15 VOIP/Internet users at remote location.
