+## Performance
+
+[iperf](https://github.com/esnet/iperf) is a tool for active measurements of the maximum achievable bandwidth on IP networks. Next we use this tool to forge massive packets on the `lo` device.
+
+```shell
+$ iperf -s -p 5001
+$ iperf -c localhost --parallel 40 -i 1 -t 2000
+```

+***sniffer vs bandwhich vs nethogs***
+
+As you can see, CPU overheads `bandwhich > sniffer > nethogs`, memory overheads `sniffer > nethogs > bandwhich`.
+```shell
+    PID USER      PR  NI    VIRT    RES    SHR S  %CPU  %MEM     TIME+ COMMAND
+ 128405 root      20   0  210168   5184   3596 S  31.0   0.3   1:21.69 bandwhich

+```
+
+See what stats they show, sniffer and bandwhich output are very approximate(~ 2.5GB/s). netlogs can only handles packets 1.122GB/s. May this be the reason for its low CPU consumption?
+
+```shell
+# sniffer
+Total </ Connections: 80 Up: 2.5GBps Down: 0.0GBps />
+
+# bandwhich
+Total Up / Down: 2.5GiBps / 964Bps
