Testing LFNs

2009-05-06 Thread Kaegler, Mike
I have a new T3 thats 65msec long. I'd usually be using iperf to test new links, but at 65msec, even at the maximum window size, I can only get 6-8mbit through. No combination of options I've been able to find has gotten me more than 6mbit through this link. Should I just shotgun 9 copies of it?

set your system send and receive TCP buffers larger. You're probably being limited by that. With linux, make sure you have window auto- scaling enabled and have increased the maximum size it can grow to to at least 4MB. Or test with UDP and blast as fast as you can so that you're not

Thanks to everyone who responded on and off-list! It seems evident that I didn't have a complete understanding of the iperf switches which alter buffer sizes. Several people made a few neat points, which I'll quickly summarize: * In iperf, -P will allow one to run multiple tcp tests at once. *
