Subject: Re: IPerf with Multicast tests
Hi Marc,
Thanks for your time on my question. Here's more details of my
configuration:
PC1:(NIC1)<--->(NIC1):PC2
PC1:(NIC2)<--->(NIC2):PC2
-Both NICs of both PCs connected and on diff. subnets
-Connection via Hubs/switches NO router in between
-Test traffic to run over NIC2, NIC1 is used for control traffic (i.e drive
mapping to copy latest drivers and scripts execution...etc)
-These machines run Win2K OS.
So, when I run iperf on PC1 and PC2....both bounded to the same (-B)
Multicast address say (224.10.82.67)....Iperf will usually send the test
traffic over NIC1 by itself. I can't get iperf to run the multicast traffic on
NIC2.
Can there be an option to choose which network Interface for the
multicast traffic to run through?
Thank you very much for your time.
//Minh
