Hi Bernd, May I know the reason for choosing Iperf 2.0.4 as the server?
It would be better if you use the Iperf 1.7.0 as a client as well as a server for a dual test.

I am trying to design a test for a network with extremely poor performance. Before I deploy that test I wanted to figure out what parameter I could use. I played around and ended up with some transfer of 50 KByte. That sounded reasonable. But when I run the test in dual mode (option -d) the server does not reply with the same settings. It transmits some 500MByte back. That would annihilate the current target network. Is there a way that I can limit the server response? I am running iperf version 2.0.4 as server and iperf version 1.7.0 on the client side. Thanks a lot for your help, -- Bernd (I attached the test I run in my local network for testing.) ./iperf.exe -c host -P 1 -i 5 -p 5001 -w 1k -l 1k -f k -t 50 -d -L 5001 WARNING: TCP window size set to 1024 bytes.
