I have a home server with Ubuntu and I want to measure download and upload speed in my LAN. Is there any program for Ubuntu that will help me do this?

@muru No. I don't want to test my server's internet connection speed but I want to test the LAN transfer speed between my laptop and server. – adazem009 Jun 07 '20 at 16:03

Well, you said download/upload speed and LAN, so I'm not sure which you actually want.
To test download/upload speed of your Internet connection:
Yes. It's is possible. With the project: https://github.com/sindresorhus/fast-cli
If you have node installed, just run npm install --global fast-cli
Then you can use fast to start the test.
If you don't have node installed, you can install it with apt install nodejs
To test your LAN speed, you'll need a second computer and install iperf on both.
Run one side as a server, the other side as the client.
On ubuntu, you can install iperf with apt install iperf, on MacOS brew install iperf for other operating systems you'll have to google.
