> Hello, I am using iperf to measure the bandwidth of a link and would like
to know what is included in the bandwidth measurement that iperf reports at
the server side, when the following command is used: iperf -s -u -i 1. Is
the bandwidth that the iperf server reports a raw data rate, that includes
overhead and protocols, or is the reported number the rate for the message
information only? If the time interval were increased to 5, would the
numbers reported every 5 seconds represent averages for the previous 5
seconds, or just an instantaneous reading every 5 seconds? Thanks and
regards, Marcel.
