Latest Version Notes:
- iperf - iperf.exe and html docs (iperf version 2.0.5)
- jperf - java gui for iperf (includes jperf GUI version 2.0.2 & iperf 1.7.0)
- kperf_setup.exe (includes jperf GUI version 1.0 & iperf 2.0.2). Installed progam (includes start menu items) into c:\program files\iperf-2.0.2\
Tests For WANs where compression is used, use a non-compressible test file such as a large .jpg.
Server - Listen on TCP
iperf -s
Server - Listen on UDP
iperf -su
Client - 14 TCP Connections 1 minute
iperf -c <server ip> -P 14 -i 1 -p 5001 -l 8K -f m -t 60 -L 5001 -F C:\testfile
Client - 14 UDP Connections 1 Mbit streams 1 minute
