I have been tasked with getting performance information with a Sierra Wireless Aircard 595. I have a program that I have written that gives me signal strength (I wrote it with info under an NDA to SW).
I am using ppp to create a network connection on a Linux box. Then I establish a VPN with openvpn. I can test the VPN by pinging 192.168.10.1. Then I run a daemonized iperf on 192.168.10.1. How I start it is like this: iperf --bind 192.168.10.1 -s -D Then I attempt to run iperf on the client to get a two way performance test - like so: iperf -c 192.168.10.1 -d -r A correct run looks like this (done on my home network): no...@trinity:/etc/openvpn$ iperf -c 192.168.1.50 -d -r ------------------------------------------------------------ Server listening on TCP port 5001 TCP window size: 85.3 KByte (default) ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Client connecting to 192.168.1.50, TCP port 5001 TCP window size: 22.6 KByte (default) ------------------------------------------------------------ [ 5] local 192.168.1.101 port 34793 connected with 192.168.1.50 port 5001 [ 5] 0.0-10.0 sec 24.4 MBytes 20.5 Mbits/sec [ 4] local 192.168.1.101 port 5001 connected with 192.168.1.50 port 57159 [ 4] 0.0-10.0 sec 27.3 MBytes 22.8 Mbits/sec no...@trinity:/etc/openvpn$ I get a VPN established. If I create the VPN on my home Shaw network then I get all the routes that the VPN normally creates, If I use the Aircard, then I should have a route like "nn.nn.nn.nn via 192.168.1.1 dev ath0", but the VPN does not create that route. Secondly, when I do the iperf test the vpn collapses after the first part of the test is done, the return performance test never completes. Here is how that looks on the screen. no...@trinity:/etc/openvpn$ iperf -c 192.168.10.1 -d -r ------------------------------------------------------------ Server listening on TCP port 5001 TCP window size: 85.3 KByte (default) ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Client connecting to 192.168.10.1, TCP port 5001 TCP window size: 16.0 KByte (default) ------------------------------------------------------------ [ 5] local 192.168.54.18 port 32815 connected with 192.168.10.1 port 5001 [ 5] 0.0-10.0 sec 1.13 MBytes 949 Kbits/sec and it hangs forever. I am using Kubuntu 8.04 and I have tried Kubuntu 8.10. I have also tried killing KNetworkManager 'cause I have heard that it interferes with the server's "push" routes. I have also turned off window_scaling. I am going to try Debian Lenny. Can you guys think of anything so that I can get this working. _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
