LAN_SpeedTest
LAN SpeedTest is a network performance testing tool developed by Totusoft that measures file transfer speeds across local area networks (LAN), both wired and wireless. The app works by creating a file in memory and transferring it in both directions to measure read and write speeds, providing detailed metrics including packet length, transfer time, and throughput in various units. It's commonly used by IT professionals, network administrators, and tech-savvy users to diagnose network performance issues, test USB drives, and benchmark local network connections. The tool is particularly useful for identifying bottlenecks in home or office networks and validating network hardware performance.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionBased on the search results, LAN SpeedTest appears to be a 32-bit Intel application that only works up to macOS Mojave, indicating it has been abandoned by the developer Totusoft with no Apple Silicon updates available. For a modern alternative, consider Tessabyte (available from Netmantics), which provides precise network performance measurements for both wired and wireless environments on macOS, including Apple Silicon Macs. Tessabyte offers similar functionality with speed testing, packet loss analysis, and jitter measurements. Another option is using command-line tools like iPerf for more technical users, though this requires more setup and technical knowledge compared to the simple interface of the original LAN SpeedTest.
