Bug#759225: Iperf client version 2.0.5-3 prints unrealistic bandwidth results

2014-08-25 Thread Martin Tõnusoo
Roberto,

thanks! I already obtained the iperf3 from github to my CentOS installation, 
but I would like to test out the Debian package as well. Please provide me the 
download link for testing it out.

This ticket can be resolved.



regards,
Martin

Sometimes Iperf client reports unrealistic bandwidth results:

Yes, with UDP client statistics sometimes are really broken. Please check 
server statistics and I think it may be ok.

This bug has been there for a long time and upstream is not very active, so 
it's unlikely to be fixed.

FYI, iperf has been rewritten from scratch, it's called iperf3, and the Debian 
package is currently in Incoming. I can send you a link to download the 
binaries if you are interested in testing it.

Under which conditions such behavior can occur? I would expect egress bandwidth 
never to be higher than target bandwidth set with "-b" flag.

I am using Debian GNU/Linux 7 as a guest-OS in VMware virtual-machine(1GigE 
vNIC, e1000 driver), kernel 3.2.0-4-686-pae, libc6:i386 version 2.13-38+deb7u3, 
libgcc1:i386 version 1:4.7.2-5 and libstdc++6:i386 version 4.7.2-5.

Please let me know in case additional information is needed!


thanks,
Martin
