# Kata Containers network metrics
|
|
|
|
Kata Containers provides a series of network performance tests. Running these provides a basic reference for measuring network essentials like
|
|
bandwidth, jitter, latency and parallel bandwidth.
|
|
|
|
## Performance tools
|
|
|
|
- `iperf3` measures bandwidth, jitter, CPU usage, parallel bandwidth and the quality of a network link.
|
|
|
|
## Networking tests
|
|
|
|
- `k8s-network-metrics-iperf3.sh` measures bandwidth which is the speed of the data transfer.
|
|
- `latency-network.sh` measures network latency.
|
|
- `nginx-network.sh` is a benchmark of the lightweight Nginx HTTPS web-server and measures the HTTP requests over a fixed period of time with a configurable number of concurrent clients/connections.
|
|
- `k8s-network-metrics-iperf3-udp.sh` measures `UDP` bandwidth and parallel bandwidth which is the speed of the data transfer.
|
|
|
|
## Running the tests
|
|
|
|
Individual tests can be run by hand, for example:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ cd metrics
|
|
$ bash network/iperf3_kubernetes/k8s-network-metrics-iperf3.sh -b
|
|
```
