Throughput between @[HOSTS_TITLE] Hosts

Introduction

In this throughput values [Mbit/s] between the several @[HOSTS_TITLE] hosts are given as function of the time. In main terms this page contains the following attributes:

  1. A control frame, which can be used to deliver various views at the net test data.
  2. A table frame, where the data are shown.
Both frames are discussed in the next sections.

In the last section some short remarks are made about the measurement procedure.

This page requires minimal Netscape 4, Internet Explorer 4 or HotJava 3.

Control frame

The top control frame can be used to select the desired net test data. It is placed above all tables. The functionality of the control frame is for all tables more or less comparable. See also the help page for more information. In this page the procedure is also discussed for loading the net test data from the Web server.

Table frame

In the bottom table frame, the table with throughput values is shown. Going from above to below the following attributes are found:

Measurement procedure

The throughput measurements are performed by the program netperf.

The following parameters are used at the performance measurements:
 

Description Option Value
The test duration -l @[NETPERF_TEST_LEN] seconds
The test to perform -t @[NETPERF_TEST_NAME]
The send size -m @[NETPERF_SEND_SIZE] bytes
The receive size -M @[NETPERF_RECV_SIZE] bytes
The local socket send / receive buffer sizes -s @[NETPERF_LOCAL_SIZE] bytes
The remote socket send / receive buffer sizes -S @[NETPERF_REMOTE_SIZE] bytes
