Enhancements to iperf

As of LCOS 10.90, the iperf command has been enhanced with additional options to measure peer bandwidth and to allow automated invocation, e.g., from the action table.

Table 1. Overview of all CLI commands
Command Description
iperf [-s|-c <Host>] [options] Starts iPerf on the device to perform a bandwidth measurement with an iPerf2 counterpart. Possible options include:
  • Client/Server
    • -q, --quiet: Enables quiet mode where CLI output is suppressed, as the command can also be invoked via the action table. Additionally, in client mode, execution cannot be interrupted.
  • Client-specific
    • -R, --reverse: Reverses the measurement direction.
    • -E, --peer <Interface>: Establishes a connection using the interface specified by the peer name and sets rx/tx thresholds based on the result(s). If not executed in dual or tradeoff mode, the value of the unmeasured direction is set based on the last measurement if available.The result is recorded in the status table Status > Iperf > Last-Results > Peer-Result (1.96.1.3) under the values Peer, Server-Bandwidth-kbps, and Client-Bandwidth-kbps.
    • --retry: Number of retry attempts if a connection cannot be established. Maximum: 99.
