Not sure if iPerf3 will work over WAN: <a href="https://iperf.fr/iperf-download.php#windows" rel="ugc">https://iperf.fr/iperf-download.php#windows</a><br />
You can change the ports, but you will need to allow those ports in firewalls.

<div>
what your external gateway's capability? if SNMP is an option, you can use cacti from cacti.net to poll the external router and collect WAN traffic.<br />
note <br />
<br />
Do you have a VPN setup between the two locations, if so it might be possible to pull VPN data rate traffic but will depend on what you are working with.

Is there a lightweight utility to measure WAN speed between our remote office's Windows file server (running on Hyper V) and our main data center? <br />
<br />
If it's software that needs to be installed, not needing to reboot the remote file server after the install would be most preferable. <br />
<br />
Free is for me but if we need to buy something, that's ok.<br />
<br />
Thoughts?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Measure speed across WAN to remote office file server?

Software is any set of instructions that directs a computer to perform specific tasks or operations. Computer software consists of programs, libraries and related non-executable data (such as documentation). Computer software is non-tangible, contrasted with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Software written in a machine language is known as "machine code". However, in practice, software is usually written in high-level programming languages than machine language. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or interpreter or a combination of the two.

Software

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

Routers

This topic area includes legacy versions of Windows prior to Windows 2000: Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions including Windows Mobile.

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is the set of networking protocols that define end-to-end connectivity specifying how data should be packeted, addressed, transmitted, routed and received at the destination. This functionality is organized into four abstraction layers which are used to sort all related protocols according to the scope of networking involved.
