Check Network Bandwidth
2016/09/08 |
|
Check Network Bandwidth with iperf.
This needs 2 machine, Client(Sender) and Server(Receiver). |
|
| [1] | Install iperf3 (Install on both Client and Server) . |
|
root@dlp:~# apt-get -y install iperf3
|
| [2] | Execute the command on the Server like follows. It's possible to specify the listening port to add "-p (port number)". If not specified. default port(5201) is used like follows. |
|
root@dlp:~# iperf3 -s ----------------------------------------------------------- Server listening on 5201 ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| [3] | Check Network Bandwidth to execute the command like follows. |
|

| [4] | There are many options like below. Try to do. |
|
root@dlp:~# iperf3 --help
Usage: iperf [-s|-c host] [options]
iperf [-h|--help] [-v|--version]
Server or Client:
-p, --port # server port to listen on/connect to
-f, --format [kmgKMG] format to report: Kbits, Mbits, KBytes, MBytes
-i, --interval # seconds between periodic bandwidth reports
-F, --file name xmit/recv the specified file
-A, --affinity n/n,m set CPU affinity
-B, --bind <host> bind to a specific interface
-V, --verbose more detailed output
-J, --json output in JSON format
-d, --debug emit debugging output
-v, --version show version information and quit
-h, --help show this message and quit
Server specific:
-s, --server run in server mode
-D, --daemon run the server as a daemon
-1, --one-off handle one client connection then exit
Client specific:
-c, --client <host> run in client mode, connecting to <host>
-u, --udp use UDP rather than TCP
-b, --bandwidth #[KMG][/#] target bandwidth in bits/sec (0 for unlimited)
(default 1 Mbit/sec for UDP, unlimited for TCP)
(optional slash and packet count for burst mode)
-t, --time # time in seconds to transmit for (default 10 secs)
-n, --bytes #[KMG] number of bytes to transmit (instead of -t)
-k, --blockcount #[KMG] number of blocks (packets) to transmit (instead of -t or -n)
-l, --len #[KMG] length of buffer to read or write
(default 128 KB for TCP, 8 KB for UDP)
-P, --parallel # number of parallel client streams to run
-R, --reverse run in reverse mode (server sends, client receives)
-w, --window #[KMG] set window size / socket buffer size
-C, --linux-congestion <algo> set TCP congestion control algorithm (Linux only)
-M, --set-mss # set TCP maximum segment size (MTU - 40 bytes)
-N, --nodelay set TCP no delay, disabling Nagle's Algorithm
-4, --version4 only use IPv4
-6, --version6 only use IPv6
-S, --tos N set the IP 'type of service'
-L, --flowlabel N set the IPv6 flow label (only supported on Linux)
-Z, --zerocopy use a 'zero copy' method of sending data
-O, --omit N omit the first n seconds
-T, --title str prefix every output line with this string
--get-server-output get results from server
[KMG] indicates options that support a K/M/G suffix for kilo-, mega-, or giga-
