Hi, I am a new user of iperf trying to test our network by passing a given amount of UDP traffic across. In order to do so, I run the following commands: iperf -s -u iperf -u -c 192.168.18.3 -n 20000

The -n option should limit the traffic passed to 20000 bytes however I seem to find that data transfer seems to occur indefinitely. I am using iperf 2.0.2 on ubuntu. Could someone shed some light on the behavior of the "-n" option ? Thanks, Gokul
