Iperf was orginally developed by NLANR/DAST as a modern alternative for measuring maximum TCP and UDP bandwidth performance. Iperf allows the tuning of various parameters and UDP characteristics. Iperf reports bandwidth, delay jitter, datagram loss.
We’ll setting up 1 iperf client and 1 iperf server.
1. Iperf server
The easy way
root# apt-get install iperf
Compile manually
root# apt-get install build-essential
root# wget http://jaist.dl.sourceforge.net/project/iperf/iperf-2.0.5.tar.gz
root# tar zxvf iperf-2.0.5.tar.gz
root# cd iperf-2.0.5
root# ./configure
root# make
root#make install clean
root#iperf -s -D {run as server mode, and create a daemon}
2. Iperf client
Follow exactly above step to install iperf
To start a test execute below command
root#iperf - c <iperf-server-ipaddress-here>
