UDP parameters


Hello
 
I am running Iperf version 1.7.0 in 2 PC´s with 100 Mbps cards, connected through a switch. Both got Windows XP. I would like to do a simple throughput (bandwidth) test using UDP traffic. However I don´t know what values to use for parameters like: bit rate, amount of data to send between testing nodes or during how much time should I send a specific amount of data.  I have noticed that if I increase bit rate, for example, throughput increases and, in some cases, also does lost datagrams. So which is the balance point of this parameters to get a correct throughput measurement?
 
I have looked for additional information on the web but nothing have answered my questions. I´ll really appreciate any help.
 
Regards,  Rosanna
