Package: iperf Version: 2.0.4-1 Severity: normal I've received this message from Christian Baun:
Dear Roberto, I have seen that You are the maintainer of iperf so I hope You are the correct addressee for this problem. I think there is a memory leak in iperf 2.0.4-1. I try to measure the network transfer rate between several machines with a cronjob every 10 minutes. The results are that the measured network transfer rate decreases constantly. First I was wondering but when I watched "top" I saw the explanation for this behaviour. A fresh started server process from iperf needs only few ram and cpu: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 2379 root 20 0 23560 432 292 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 iperf After a few hours the server process of iperf needs a lot of resources: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 6248 root 15 0 574m 1568 436 S 43.6 0.1 226:51.79 iperf The situation is worse after more than 1 day: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 1241 root 20 0 2032m 5460 420 S 97.0 4.2 2553:28 iperf The server is started one time with: iperf -sD The client is started with: iperf -f KBytes -c ServerIPAdresse Maybe a memory leak.
