Appendix F: Network Performance; Private Network Setup And Test - Xilinx KCU105 User Manual

Network Performance
This appendix describes private network setup for the Linux operating system.

Private Network Setup and Test

This section explains how to try network benchmarking with this design. The recommended
benchmarking tool is netperf which operates in a client-server model. This tool can be
freely downloaded and is not shipped as part of LiveDVD. Install netperf before proceeding
further.
Default Setup
In the setup connected to same machine, the network benchmarking tool can be run as
follows:
1. Follow the procedure to install Application mode drivers and try ping as documented in
Setup Procedure for 2x10G Ethernet Design, page
eth(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 5005
This sets up the netserver to listen at port 5005.
4. Open another terminal and enter:
$ netperf -H 10.60.0.1 -p 5005
This 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, for
example, 5006, and repeat the previous steps.
