In the age of the Internet a very important issue is network and network application performance and security. Network architects and web application designers need appropriate tools to examine their services. This paper describes the new application for testing mentioned parameters that do not require specialized hardware. Performance tests implemented in presented application are basing on RFC 2544 document. That standard determines a.o. duration of performed tests. Authors tried to shorten times of tests and compared results with full size RFC 2544 compliant tests results.

Bardzo ważnym zagadnieniem w dobie Internetu jest bezpieczeństwo i wydajność sieci internetowej i aplikacji sieciowych. Architekci sieciowi oraz projektancji aplikacji sieciowych potrzebują odpowiednich narzędzi pozwalających na przetestowanie ich produktów. Ten artykuł przedstawia nową aplikacją służącą do testowania wybranych parametrów sieci i aplikacji sieciowych, która nie wymaga wykorzystania specjalistycznego sprzętu. Testy wydajności są zaimplementowane na podstawie dokumentu RFC 2544 definiującego m.in. interwały czasowe potrzebne do przeprowadzenia rzetelnych testów. W ramach badań podjęto próbę skrócenia czasu trwania testów i porównano wyniki z wynikami testów zgodnych z RFC 2544.
