Iperf - Microhard Systems pX2 Operating Manual

4.0 Configuration
4.7.3 Diag > Iperf
The pX2 features an integrated Iperf server/client to use to measure and analyze throughput of TCP/UDP
packets to and/or from the pX2. Iperf is a 3rd party utility that can be loaded on any PC to measure network
performance. For additional information about Iperf, please visit the Iperf website.
The pX2 can be configured to operate as a Server, listening for an incoming connection from another
device (with Iperf), or PC running an Iperf client. If set to Iperf client, the pX2 will connect to or send
packets to a specified Iperf server.
Select between an Iperf Server (listens for incoming connections) and
client (initiates a connection with a server)
If the Iperf mode to set to Server, this Server Status allows a user to
Enable or Disable the server.
Select the type of packets to be sent to test the throughput. TCP packets
are connection oriented and require additional overhead for the
handshaking that occurs, while UDP is a connectionless, best effort
oriented protocol.
