Yes, there are several tools and methods to measure network throughput in Sangfor HCI or any similar hyper-converged infrastructure environment. Here are a few options:

1. Sangfor HCI Network Analyzer
Description: Sangfor HCI often provides its own network analysis tools, such as the Network Analyzer mentioned earlier.
Features: This tool can provide real-time monitoring of network traffic, including throughput, bandwidth utilization, packet loss, and latency.
Usage: Administrators can use the Network Analyzer to view current network throughput statistics, historical trends, and identify any performance bottlenecks.
2. iperf
Description: iperf is a popular and widely used tool for measuring network performance. It can be installed on both client and server machines.
Features: With iperf, you can test the maximum achievable bandwidth between two nodes in your Sangfor HCI setup.
Usage: Run an iperf server on one node and an iperf client on another. The client will send data to the server, and iperf will report the throughput achieved during the test.
Example:
On Server Node: iperf -s
On Client Node: iperf -c server_ip_address
3. Wireshark
Description: Wireshark is a powerful network protocol analyzer that can be used to inspect the data going over the network.
Features: While it's not primarily a throughput testing tool, Wireshark can give insights into network throughput by capturing packets and analyzing their timing and size.
Usage: Capture packets between two nodes during a file transfer or other network activity. Analyze the packet timing and size to calculate throughput.
4. Sangfor HCI Performance Testing Tool
Description: This tool, if available, may have specific network throughput testing features.
Features: Designed for performance testing, it can simulate various workloads, including network-intensive scenarios.
Usage: Run tests with varying network loads to measure throughput. The tool should provide detailed reports on network performance metrics.
5. Throughput Testing with File Transfers
Description: A simple method involves transferring a large file between nodes and measuring the time taken.
Features: While not as sophisticated as dedicated tools, this method can give a basic idea of network throughput.
Usage: Use SCP, FTP, or similar protocols to transfer a large file. Measure the file transfer time and calculate throughput (Throughput = File Size / Transfer Time).
These tools and methods can help you measure network throughput in your Sangfor HCI environment, providing valuable insights into network performance and helping in optimization and troubleshooting efforts.
