Iperf[转]

Iperf is a tool to measure the bandwidth and the quality of a network link. Jperf can be associated with Iperf to provide a graphical frontend written in Java.

The network link is delimited by two hosts running Iperf.

The quality of a link can be tested as follows:
- Latency (response time or RTT): can be measured with the Ping command.
- Jitter (latency variation): can be measured with an Iperf UDP test.
- Datagram loss: can be measured with an Iperf UDP test.

The bandwidth is measured through TCP tests.

To be clear, the difference between TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) and UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is that TCP use processes to check that the packets are correctly sent to the receiver whereas with UDP the packets are sent without any checks but with the advantage of being quicker than TCP.
Iperf uses the different capacities of TCP and UDP to provide statistics about network links.

Finally, Iperf can be installed very easily on any UNIX/Linux or Microsoft Windows system. One host must be set as client, the other one as server.

Here is a diagram where Iperf is installed on a Linux and Microsoft Windows machine.
Linux is used as the Iperf client and Windows as the Iperf server. Of course, it is also possible to use two Linux boxes.

Default Iperf settings:
Also check "Jperf section.

By default, the Iperf client connects to the Iperf server on the TCP port 5001 and the bandwidth displayed by Iperf is the bandwidth from the client to the server.
If you want to use UDP tests, use the -u argument.
The -d and -r Iperf client arguments measure the bi-directional bandwidths. (See further on this tutorial)

Client side:

Server side:

#iperf -s

Data formatting: (-f argument)

The -f argument can display the results in the desired format: bits(b), bytes(B), kilobits(k), kilobytes(K), megabits(m), megabytes(M), gigabits(g) or gigabytes(G).
Generally the bandwidth measures are displayed in bits (or Kilobits, etc ...) and an amount of data is displayed in bytes (or Kilobytes, etc ...).
As a reminder, 1 byte is equal to 8 bits and, in the computer science world, 1 kilo is equal to 1024 (2^10).
For example: 100'000'000 bytes is not equal to 100 Mbytes but to 100'000'000/1024/1024 = 95.37 Mbytes.

Client side:

Server side:

#iperf -s

Bi-directional bandwidth measurement: (-r argument)

The Iperf server connects back to the client allowing the bi-directional bandwidth measurement. By default, only the bandwidth from the client to the server is measured.
If you want to measure the bi-directional bandwidth simultaneously, use the -d keyword. (See next test.)

Simultaneous bi-directional bandwidth measurement: (-d argument)
Also check the "Jperf" section.

To measure the bi-directional bandwidths simultaneousely, use the -d argument. If you want to test the bandwidths sequentially, use the -r argument (see previous test).
By default (ie: without the -r or -d arguments), only the bandwidth from the client to the server is measured.

TCP Window size: (-w argument)

The TCP window size is the amount of data that can be buffered during a connection without a validation from the receiver.
It can be between 2 and 65,535 bytes.
On Linux systems, when specifying a TCP buffer size with the -w argument, the kernel allocates double as much as indicated.

Client side:

#iperf -c 10.1.1.1 -w 2000

WARNING: TCP window size set to 2000 bytes. A small window size
will give poor performance. See the Iperf documentation.

Communication port (-p), timing (-t) and interval (-i):

The Iperf server communication port can be changed with the -p argument. It must be configured on the client and the server with the same value, default is TCP port 5001.
The -t argument specifies the test duration time in seconds, default is 10 secs.
The -i argument indicates the interval in seconds between periodic bandwidth reports.

UDP tests: (-u), bandwidth settings (-b)
Also check the "Jperf" section.

The UDP tests with the -u argument will give invaluable information about the jitter and the packet loss. If you don't specify the -u argument, Iperf uses TCP.
To keep a good link quality, the packet loss should not go over 1 %. A high packet loss rate will generate a lot of TCP segment retransmissions which will affect the bandwidth.

The jitter is basically the latency variation and does not depend on the latency. You can have high response times and a very low jitter. The jitter value is particularly important on network links supporting voice over IP (VoIP) because a high jitter can break a call.
The -b argument allows the allocation if the desired bandwidth.

Maximum Segment Size (-m argument) display:

The Maximum Segment Size (MSS) is the largest amount of data, in bytes, that a computer can support in a single, unfragmented TCP segment.
It can be calculated as follows:
MSS = MTU - TCP & IP headers
The TCP & IP headers are equal to 40 bytes.
The MTU or Maximum Transmission Unit is the greatest amount of data that can be transferred in a frame.
Here are some default MTU size for different network topology:
Ethernet - 1500 bytes: used in a LAN.
PPPoE - 1492 bytes: used on ADSL links.
Token Ring (16Mb/sec) - 17914 bytes: old technology developed by IBM.
Dial-up - 576 bytes

Generally, a higher MTU (and MSS) brings higher bandwidth efficiency

Client side:
