Hi,
I've been using IPerf for doing some tests on our
network. For TCP tests, I'm able to get around 94
mbps between two systems. However, the speed drops to
around 30 mpbs over UDP. Shouldn't UDP be faster?
I've googled this but haven't come up with a good
answer. Is it IPerf not doing the measurements
correctly or is it something with Windows XP?
The commands I'm using are:
iperf -c -u myserversIP -b 100M -p 5002
iperf -s -u
If someone can give me some clues on this I'd really
appreciate it.
Also, is there a webpage that lists the max, min, and
default parameter values for things such as packet
size, etc for Windows and Linux?
Thanks
Najaf
