The client is connecting to port 5001 while the server is listening on port 5000. I think you need to specify the port at the client side.
try using the -p 5000 option or just specify 5000 after the hostname. One of them should work. type iperf -help to see the options. -----Original Message----- From: gini-boun...@cs.mcgill.ca [mailto:gini-boun...@cs.mcgill.ca] On Behalf Of Sanket Manjul Joshipura Sent: Thursday, November 05, 2009 6:48 PM To: gini@cs.mcgill.ca Subject: [gini] iperf problems Hi, We are trying to run the first 2 iperf commands.
