Anyone used Iperf or Netperf w/GigE?
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has used Iperf or Netperf for testing network performance over GigE? The reason for my question is that I've been doing some testing, initially with Iperf, and recently with Netperf, of GigE LAN links, and I've been finding results in the 300Mbit/sec range. The server vendor is implying that these results are not valid, and is suggesting that I do a file copy of a 36GB file instead and time it, subtracting the time for a local file copy. I don't mind doing the test they're suggesting, but I'm just wondering if there's a possibility that the numbers that I'm getting from both Iperf and Netperf are really 'off'?
Thanks, Jim
