The recommendedbenchmarking tool is netperf which operates in a client-server model. This tool can befreely downloaded and is not shipped as part of LiveDVD. Install netperf before proceedingfurther.Default SetupIn the setup connected to same machine, the network benchmarking tool can be run asfollows:1. Follow the procedure to install Application mode drivers and try ping as documented inSetup Procedure for 2x10G Ethernet Design, page 69. The two interfaces are ethX andeth(X+1) with IP addresses of 10.60.0.1 and 10.60.1.1, respectively.2. Disable the firewall to run netperf.3. Open a terminal and enter:$ netserver -p 5005This sets up the netserver to listen at port 5005.4. Open another terminal and enter:$ netperf -H 10.60.0.1 -p 5005This runs netperf (TCP_STREAM test for 10 seconds) and targets the server at port 5005.5. To repeat the same process for 10.60.1.1 IP, set up netserver at a different port, forexample, 5006, and repeat the previous steps.Send Feedback
