Re: Question on iperf versions
Connie, 2.0.2 is the recommended version, which addresses several bugs in
2.0.1; the patch for 2.0.2, if you're refering to the one mentionied at
the bottom of the iperf page, was submitted but is not necessary---it's a
feature addition (re DCCP), not a bug fix.
The are several known (minor) issues with 2.0.2; a new micro-version
release should be ready shortly, but feel free to contact me with any
questions as you go.

The reason I want to change is I have started getting 'TCP: too many orphaned sockets' problems. When I turn off the iperf measurements, the problem disappesars. I am running iperf for 15-20 seconds to around 10 hosts about every 30 minutes. They are run sequentially with about 90 seconds between each test. I checked the archives, but have not seen this discussed.
