Link to the GitHub repo with the Dockerfiles github.com/nerdalert/netperf-netserver⁠

Exampe usage running netserver as a daemon with the -D option (example is on the same host using the private address of the container e.g. 172.17.0.x):

$ docker run  -itd --rm --name=netserver -p 12865:12865 networkstatic/netserver -D
# or Podman
$ podman run  -itd --rm --name=netserver -p 12865:12865 networkstatic/netserver -D

Get the IP address of the instance you just started

$ docker inspect --format "{{ .NetworkSettings.IPAddress }}" netserver

Run client tests against the server using netperf with:

$ docker run  -it --rm networkstatic/netperf -H <INSERT_NETSERVER_IP>

Example output between two containers on the same host:

$ docker run  -it --rm networkstatic/netperf -H 172.17.0.2
