kandi X-RAY | iperf Summary

iperf is a C library. iperf has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities and it has medium support. However iperf has a Non-SPDX License. You can download it from GitHub.

iperf is a tool for active measurements of the maximum achievable bandwidth on IP networks. It supports tuning of various parameters related to timing, protocols, and buffers. For each test it reports the measured throughput / bitrate, loss, and other parameters. This version, sometimes referred to as iperf3, is a redesign of an original version developed at NLANR/DAST. iperf3 is a new implementation from scratch, with the goal of a smaller, simpler code base, and a library version of the functionality that can be used in other programs. iperf3 also has a number of features found in other tools such as nuttcp and netperf, but were missing from the original iperf. These include, for example, a zero-copy mode and optional JSON output. Note that iperf3 is not backwards compatible with the original iperf. Primary development for iperf3 takes place on CentOS Linux, FreeBSD, and macOS. At this time, these are the only officially supported platforms, however there have been some reports of success with OpenBSD, NetBSD, Android, Solaris, and other Linux distributions. iperf3 is principally developed by ESnet / Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. It is released under a three-clause BSD license. For more information see: Source code and issue tracker:

            Match and $Matches in Powershell via RegEx
            Asked 2022-Mar-17 at 22:45

            I have a little issue with a Powershell project, I've been working on for some time now.

            The basic idea is that six iPerf speed measurements will be executed. A logfile is created to have some data which can be displayed to the user.

            But there's some issue with the match and variable Matches in Powershell to display multiple values..

            There's the code, I've been working on..

            ...

            The automatic $Matches variable only ever reflects the results of the most recent -match operation - and then only if (a) the matching was successful and (b), fundamentally, only if the LHS was a single string - if the LHS was a collection (array), -match acts as a filter, returning the subarray of matching elements, and does not populate $Matches.

            However, your command can be greatly streamlined:

            • Use a single Get-Content call
            • Use a Select-Object call with the -Index parameter to extract the lines of interest (indices are 0-based).
            • Use the -replace operator instead of -match in order to directly extract the substrings of interest:

            How do I use Get-Content to retrieve specific line and column from text file
            Asked 2022-Mar-15 at 19:29

            Example from the iperf3.txt file created.

            [SUM] 0.00-30.00 sec 1.09 GBytes 312 Mbits/sec sender
            [SUM] 0.00-30.00 sec 1.09 GBytes 312 Mbits/sec receiver

            I would like to be able to "extract" the 312 Mbits/sec-text and leave the rest alone. Previous I've used this line of code to "present" the numbers from the iPerf-speedtest after the PS-script was completed, but the entire line is displayed like the example, I put in above.

            Get-Content -Path $iperf3.txt | Where-Object {$_ -like'*[SUM]*0.00-15.00*'}

            I've been looking at this post Get filtered content from text file with Get-Content and wondered if that is what is needed to do what I want.

            I would like to end result to be something like this:

            Your speedtest result is 123 Mbits/sec for download.
            Your speedtest result is 321 Mbits/sec for upload.

            Any input or feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!

            For each speedtest iPerf will add the above content to the text-file, so in theory it will could be added two-three times. Hope this helps.

            fabric 2 traffic generation with non-blocking commands
            Asked 2021-Dec-08 at 03:46

            I need to run some tests with a traffic generator that has different client and server commands. I would like to roll this into a fabric2 script which executes the traffic generation commands while cd'd into /root.

            I have public-key authentication on the iperf machines. How can I run this traffic generation test under fabric2?

            Answered 2021-Dec-08 at 03:46

            This was a little interesting to get running because the fabric2 docs don't include much information about run() arguments... you need to look at the invoke Runner.run() documentation to see all fabric run() keywords.

            The key to making iperf work in this case was setting pty=True and asynchronous=True when I run the iperf server commands. If I did not run the iperf server as asynchronous, it would block execution of the iperf client command.

            iperf3 udp silent gap from sending side
            Asked 2021-May-18 at 10:09

            I use iperf3.7 to measure the throughput of a system that is capable of around max 4 Gbps.

            The iperf3 server is running on a Linux machine. I start the traffic with this command on the client side with the following flags, -R option to let the server send to the client: iperf3 -c 32.0.161.84 -u -l 1360 -b 550M -P 8 -w 16M -R -t 3000

            Most of the times everything works as expected, I receive around 4 Gbps. But on some occasions, like 1-2 times of 10 iterations I receive lower throughput than expected. How much lower seem to be random, could be 2 Gbps or 3 or 3.5. When I get the low throughput scenario, it usually stays low for several minutes. Sometimes, after a couple of minutes it could recover by itself up to max speed and sometimes it stays low longer time. When I get this low throughput scenario, I can get a good throughput scenario if stopping the traffic and starting again and in this case the client side have received a new ip address as it’s dynamically assigned to the client on each iteration.

            Looking at the printouts from sending server side it says it’s sending 8x550M and I have also checked with ifstat that also shows it sends 4400 Mbps.

            Still receiving side receive lower speed.

            Mirroring the ethernet card of the machine that the iperf client (sending side) is running on into wireshark shows there is a silent gap of 10.8 ms from time to time which can explain the received lower rate.

            wireshark capture

            In this example with wireshark, the traffic is 4.4 Gbps and then suddenly, it seems to be a silence gap for 10.8 ms and we lose 4486 ip frames with 1360 bytes. That can explain why the traffic decrease to 3 Gbps for a while.

            Does anybody know if why this happens and if it is a known problem potentially fixed in later versions, 3.8 or 3.9? Any additional flag could be useful to avoid this scenario? I have tried to run the server on a different Linux machine, but same problem occur, so I don’t think it’s a problem on the machine itself.

            We changed the logging technique to something called net-sniff and then we cannot see the gap anymore when the lower throughput happens. So the gap I referred to initially was no real gap, more likely a bug in the logging. So we consider iperf3 to work as it should and think the lower throughput is due to something in the network instead.
