Hi all!

Could someone explain why Iperf really starts dropping packets?

I mean, selecting the UDP mode, setting a UDP bandwidth value and the
number of bytes to be transmitted, why does Iperf show losses for higher
values of the UDP bandwdith rate?

Is it a matter of CPU load or something related with the buffer sizes?

Thanks for you help.
Massimo
