Iperf3

  • Hi, I got Millhouse v18 on a nuc...
    I put network tools add-on with has a iperf3 in it..
    Went to the windows machine with putty
    (can't remember the exact command off the top of my head) but it results in 'error - connection refused'

    Is there something I need to do b4 trying to connect via ash?

    Cheers.

  • Connect to your nuc via ssh and start iperf as a server :

    Code
    iperf -s


    Download iperf for windows here : iPerf - Download iPerf3 and original iPerf pre-compiled binaries

    Open a cmd in the windows iperf folder then start a client :

    Code
    iperf -c <IP of your nuc>

    ok, i got latest win10 iperf, tried both 64 and 32bit

    via ssh started up
    iperf -s


    -----------------------------------------------------------
    Server listening on 5201
    -----------------------------------------------------------

    then in iperf folder cmd
    iperf -c 192.xxx.x.xx

    C:\Users\Darren\Desktop\iperf-3.1.3-win64>iperf -c 192.xxx.x.xx
    'iperf' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
    operable program or batch file.

    cheers.

  • Well for iperf3 it's not iperf but iperf3 :P
    and, as a side note, on LibreELEC the server is listening to a non-default port, so the right command is :

    Code
    iperf3 -c 192.xxx.xxx.xxx -p 5201

    Edit: Seems that port 5201 is now the default one with iperf3, so the -p 5201 is useless.

    cheers, that works.

  • Yes it can if you know an external iperf3 server listening somewhere. See iPerf - Public iPerf3 servers
