Everything Your Network
Demands to Know

Run iperf3 tests across seven scenario types: Many-to-One, One-to-Many, Full Mesh, Point-to-Point, Bidirectional, Custom Pairs, and Variable Load. Queue multiple tests, track progress in real time, and review per-device results for throughput, retransmits, jitter, and packet loss.

CTRLGrid keeps the testing workflow in one place.

iperf3 Engine

Built around iperf3 with support for bidirectional testing, parallel streams, and flexible run settings. Run targeted bandwidth tests and capture the performance data that matters.

Real-Time Dashboards

Track test status and live results as runs progress. Watch throughput, retransmits, jitter, and packet loss update in real time without waiting for the full job to finish.

Security Scanner

Integrated security checks help surface exposed services and common misconfigurations alongside performance testing. Keep validation and visibility in one workflow.

Queued Test Runs

Queue multiple tests and let CTRLGrid work through them in sequence. Useful for repeat checks, staged validation, and larger environments with several devices or paths to test.

Report Generation

Review detailed per-device results after each run and keep findings organized by scenario. Throughput, retransmits, jitter, and packet loss stay easy to compare and share.

Repeatable Baselines

Create repeatable test setups so teams can rerun the same checks consistently. That makes it easier to compare results across devices, paths, and test scenarios.

Scenario-Based Testing

Run Many-to-One, One-to-Many, Full Mesh, Point-to-Point, Bidirectional, Custom Pairs, and Variable Load tests. Choose the layout that matches the way your network actually operates.

Multi-Site Topology

Coordinate tests across multiple endpoints from one interface and review the results together. Useful for branches, device groups, and distributed network paths.

Cross-Platform CLI

Run CTRLGrid from Linux, macOS, or Windows (WSL) using the same core workflow. The CLI gives engineers a fast, consistent way to launch tests and review results.

Integrated Checks

Security Visibility,
Kept Practical

CTRLGrid keeps performance testing and basic security visibility in the same workflow. That helps teams spot exposed services and common misconfigurations without leaving the results they are already reviewing.

Integrated Security Scanner
Run basic security checks alongside performance testing so exposed services and common issues show up in the same workflow.
Service Visibility
See which services are exposed across the paths and endpoints you are already testing instead of treating security as a separate pass.
Unified Findings
Keep throughput, retransmits, jitter, packet loss, and security findings close together so the testing story stays easier to follow.
Repeatable Checks
Use the same scenarios and rerun the same workflows so teams can compare results more consistently across devices and locations.
