Try a little tool called Iperf. Use UDP flows to avoid TCP windowing and slow start issues. Also, may want toset your max datagram size within iperf to 1450 or something. On some of our PPPoE links the 1460 datagram size was getting fragmented. Reassembly was killing our router - and hence throughput, jitter, etc.

This is what I get when I download a large file ad midnight, when nobody else is using the cable. But this doesnt sound like astress test to me. How can I perform such a test? _______________________________________________ Ntop mailing list [email protected] http://listgateway.unipi.it/mailman/listinfo/ntop =========================================================================== "This email is intended to be reviewed by only the intended recipient and may contain information that is privileged and/or confidential.
