Re: [WISPA] iPerf as a Real-World Performance Simulation Tool

Careful using FTP as, particularly on fast links, you may find yourself measuring disk IO instead. For downstream TCP measurements, wget -O /dev/null http://blah is a good way of preventing the disk becoming a bottleneck (at least on the receiving side). On 13.11.2013 06:53, Bret Clark

Misconfigured MTU values will produce results like this, particularly noticeable on SSL-enabled websites. If you can, try reducing the MTU down to say 1300 Bytes and clamp the MSS to 1280 on a customer router to see if the problem goes away, if it does, you'll need to work out where the MTU issue

Those calculations assume 100% link utilisation all the time, which is likely far from true. Your actual cost/MB will probably be significantly higher, even at the NOC. -Jonesy On Mon, 21 Feb 2011 17:06:35 -0600, Matt lm7...@gmail.com wrote: Trying to calculate bandwidth costs. 1Mbps / 8
