LAN Tornado

If you are often required to test out if certain switches, routers, servers and other network devices are working properly, then you need a reliable app. LAN Tornado is a small tool that was created for this specific purpose.

The program has a clean interface; despite the fact that it doesn't visually stand out, it is quite easy to figure out.

As mentioned, the utility can test out various networking devices at the same time. These are arranged into a list that enables you to view several details regarding each connection. For instance, you can view the host address, the loading percent, number of bytes per second, the packet size, number of packets per second and activity status.

You may control several details, such as the packet size sent to the host and network, straight from the interface. Thus, you can compare the sent and received values. The process can be paused at any time.

Some settings are available with this program. For instance, you may choose the Ethernet type from a drop-down list, the size of the packets and their type (IP or UDP). It's possible to choose the type of algorithm used (hard or soft), as well as some IP options.

The bottom line is that LAN Tornado is a nice program that can come in handy if you are often required to test the working state of networking devices. Inexperienced users should find it easy to work with, thanks to the intuitive layout.
