Did you place iperf at the root of your C: drive? go to the direcotry where you downloaded it or add it to the path. As for how to use it, there is not much I can help you as I am still trying to figure it out. ;-) ------ Original Message ------ Received: Mon, 21 Dec 2009 10:25:17 AM EST From: Taqdir Singh <[email protected]> To: Rick Mur <[email protected]>Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [OSL | CCIE_RS] how to use iperf with GNS3 Could you please share, how can I use ipperf on windows ? I have downloaded ipperf from two websites, when I click on .exe files it just blinks and disappears and windows DOS promt says no command C:\>iperf 'iperf' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. I will be actually making microsoft loopback adapter and then I want to generate diff diff traffics. It would be of great help if anycan can share ,1) from where to install, 2)after installing what steps to do..,3) what are commands and 4) how can I generate diff diff traffic On Mon, Dec 21, 2009 at 8:01 PM, Rick Mur <[email protected]> wrote: > Indeed it's to learn how technology and protocols work (on Cisco IOS), but > that still doesn't make sense to use iperf then, since that is used for > throughput testing and I can think of a lot of scenarios to test iperf, but > none includes Dynamips :-) > > The only real reason I can think of is like Matt said, to test QoS policies > and see queueing behavior.
