Why is it awesome?

It combines three common network troubleshooting CLI tools (iperf2, iperf3, tshark) into a single native GUI with live throughput and latency charts. Instead of switching between terminal windows and parsing text output, you get real-time ImPlot graphs and one-click server/client mode switching. It is the only open-source tool that bundles both iperf bandwidth testing and tshark packet capture in a single interface.

Have you used it? For how long?

Yes, since the initial release. Used for LAN throughput testing and packet capture during network troubleshooting.

Is this in a personal or professional setup?

Both — personal home network testing and professional network diagnostics.

How many devices/users/services/... do you manage with it?

Used across a small fleet of Windows workstations for point-to-point network testing.

Biggest pros/cons compared to other solutions?

Pros: Single portable .exe, no Java runtime (unlike jperf), combines iperf + tshark in one UI, live charts.
Cons: Windows-only, relatively new project.

Any other comments?

MIT licensed, C++17, builds with CMake/Ninja. Bundles iperf2, iperf3, and tshark so there are no external dependencies beyond Npcap for packet capture.
