hi,
I am new to iperf and using iperf 1.7 on windows 2000/XP. It works fine with
the bandwidth specified on the ethernet network. But the problem starts when
I run it in the 802.11b environment. I am trying to tet the bandwidth for
the wireless nic. When I run the following command on the server :
iperf -s <host> -u -n 2048K -b 30M -w 4M
I get the proper output with almost no loss and bandwidth upto 29.9Mbps
But when i run the similar thing on the laptop :
iperf -c <server> -u -n 2048K -b 30M -w 4M
the results are fluctuate wildly. Sometimes the bandwidth goes till 24 - 25
Mbps (when it manages to send all the packets) but most of the time it just
send about 160-190 packets and stops with a bandwidth of 5 or 9Mbps. with an
error saying "write failed" Interrupted function call.
My question is there something I am not understanding about udp behaviour or
is it the driver problem.
Any help will be really appreciated. Also let me know if there is some other
tool i can use for what i am trying to do.
thanks
