Hi everybody!

Is there a way to measure the latency during a jacktrip session? I’m using the Jacktrip core 1.5.1

Thanks in advance, have a good Sunday.

It is available on both the device (bridge) and server GUI

Hi Bill and thank you for your reply.

I understand what you are saying, but I’m not using a VS device. I’m using the desktop open source software. And with that, I can’t find a way to see the actual latency.

Thanks anyway!

My friend Mike made a webpage explaining how to use IPerf to measure latency. See if it will wrok for you: [Use IPERF to test port-forwarding, network performance and connection quality between participants in an online jam session | Mike O'Connor](https://www.haven2.com/index.php/use-iperf-to-test-port-forwarding-and-network-performance-between-participants-in-an-online-jam-session)
