使用 iperf 测试两台机器间的最大带宽

如果在测试中想知道两台机器见最大的连接速度。用scp拷一个文件应该是最容易的方法。但是不准确。
iperf 这个小工具就是专门用来干这个的。结果相对来说准确一些。使用起来也很方便。

首先在两台机器上都安装iperf

$ sudo apt-get install iperf

然后在需要测试的一台机器上 启动 iperf 监听

$ iperf -s
------------------------------------------------------------
Server listening on TCP port 5001
TCP window size: 85.3 KByte (default)
------------------------------------------------------------

然后在另外一台机器上连接过去

$ iperf -c 192.168.1.10
------------------------------------------------------------
Client connecting to 192.168.1.10, TCP port 5001
TCP window size: 18.6 KByte (default)
------------------------------------------------------------
[  3] local 192.168.1.9 port 60611 connected with 192.168.1.10 port 5001
[ ID] Interval       Transfer     Bandwidth
[  3]  0.0-10.0 sec   112 MBytes  93.5 Mbits/sec

可以看到 连接速率是 93.5Mbps 局域网一般达不到全速。

另外还有个小工具 用来查看实时的传输速率 httperf

$ sudo apt-get install httperf
$ httperf
httperf --client=0/1 --server=localhost --port=80 --uri=/ --send-buffer=4096 --recv-buffer=16384 --num-conns=1 --num-calls=1
httperf: warning: open file limit > FD_SETSIZE; limiting max. # of open files to FD_SETSIZE

可以看到目前的网络IO 是 552.1KB/s 大约等于 4.5Mbps
