Don't know but comments are ignored by the compiler ;)
Can you share your results? I'd be curious to see the variation and if it
could be related to things like scheduling.
Also, what os are you using? If you are using linux you may want to set the
processes to use SCHED_RR

I do that in iperf2

IPerf3
Thanks. Look forward to your results. Even though I also noticed that the
calculation looks similar on the surface, I did notice a comment in iperf3 to
the effect:
// XXX: This is NOT the way to calculate jitter
// J = |(R1 - S1) - (R0 - S0)| [/ number of packets, for average]
Any thoughts why that is in there? The calculation in the code appears to have
come directly out of the RFC 1889/3550.
Also, I want to clarify that this calculation seems to be average jitter not
instantaneous jitter.
Thanks.

A quick cursory view of the source suggests the same calculation. Let me run
both on my test rig and see if I get similar results.

Hi,
In measuring jitter using Iperf 2.0.5 and Iperf 3, I have noticed a marked
difference in the calculations up to an order of magnitude. Could you explain
the differences in calculation of jitter between 2.0.5 and 3 and the accuracy.
Which should I rely upon?
Thanks in advance.
Jon
