APPENDIX D - IPERF THROUGHPUT TEST - EXT

This Appendix shows how to set up and use the Iperf application to test the throughput of Ethernet Modems.

Iperf is a tool used to measure the throughput and quality of a network link. Another Application called Jperf can also be used which gives a graphical interface for all results. This instruction covers both Iperf and Jperf, it does not cover the setup and configuration of the modems. Details can be found in previous sections.

Materials

•2 x Ethernet Modems configured as a bridge

•2 x PC Computers with Ethernet Ports

•Suitable Power Supplies for the Ethernet Modems

•Straight through Ethernet cables

•Iperf / Jperf Application

Installation

The Application can be downloaded from the following link http://sourceforge.net/projects/iperf/, download and save to a location on your PC.

Extract to zip file to the ROOT directory on your PC, i.e., C:\ This folder contains the main Iperf application as well as the Jperf graphical interface.

Copy this folder to the 2nd PC or download to the second PC and extract as per above instructions.

Iperf Applications

To run Iperf the 1st PC must be set as the Client (Master) and 2nd PC set as the Server (Slave).

At the Server PC run a Command prompt from Start/run then enter CMD. When command prompt appears we need to set the directory to where the Iperf application resides as seen in Figure 1.

Figure 1

When path has been set enter in Iperf –s to start the server application as seen in Figure 2.
