I find nuttcp very useful in those situations. Be sure to use one of the recent betas, I have been using 7.2.1 for UDP with excellent results (decent loss stats and jitter calc) http://nuttcp.net/nuttcp/beta/nuttcp-7.2.1.c As I understand it, it's still developed, 7.3.2 is now out. M On 7 Dec 2

I gotta wonder. How reliable is iPerf over something like RFC2544 or Y.1564? Especially at those speeds? I just picked up a couple of Accedian’s RFC2544/Y.1564 boxes to use as loopbacks to our field Exfos. We’ll probably wind up buying a few more Accedian boxes for the field where we don’t n

We're looking for a semi-portable solution to validate 10Gb customer circuits and hitting walls surrounding PCI lanes and the amount of data laptops can push via their busses. We'd prefer to not have techs lugging around server equipment for these tests. Anyone out there testing 10gbE with iPerf?
