BANDWIDTH TEST
Bandwidth Test is a tool for testing the
data throughput from the node to another
node in the network. It is recommended
to perform at least a 5 second throughput
test.
Wave Relay
®
nodes run a TCP iPerf server.
To perform a TCP throughput test through
the iPerf server, use the command “iperf
-c X” (X is the IP address of the node) from
the command line.
WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE REFERENCE
TO PERFORM A THROUGHPUT TEST:
1. Select destination node for throughput test from drop-down menu. Desired
destination node must be in Node List for it to appear on this menu.
2. Check or uncheck “Upload only test.” If this box is checked, throughput test will
only test upload to destination node.
3. Enter desired throughput test duration (in seconds) into “Test Duration” field.
Caution: during tests of long duration, data will continue to be sent for the full
specified duration even if a different data flow is started or the web browser is
exited.
WARNING: Windows has known issues running iPerf and does not give true
bandwidth readings. Contact Persistent Systems for more information.
