netshoot-netperf Docker Image

A lightweight Docker image based on nicolaka/netshoot with statically compiled netperf for advanced network performance testing in containerized environments.

Features

• Prebuilt Static Netperf: Includes netperf 2.7.0 compiled with static linking for dependency-free execution.
• Extended Network Toolkit: Inherits all tools from netshoot (e.g., tcpdump, iperf3, curl) and adds netperf for TCP/UDP throughput and latency benchmarking.
• Minimal Overhead: Alpine Linux base ensures a compact image size (~50MB).

Build the Image

Clone the repository and build:

git clone https://github.com/dakehero/netshoot-with-netperf.git
cd netshoot-netperf  
docker build -t netshoot-netperf .
