简介
很多公司都在将自己的无线网络升级到802.11n,以实现更大的吞吐量、更广的覆盖范围和更高的可靠性,然而保证无线LAN(WLAN)的性能对于确保足够的网络容量和覆盖率尤为重要。下面,我们将探讨如何通过iPerf来测定网络性能,这是一个简单易用测量TCP/UDP的吞吐量、损耗和延迟的工具。
软件安装
# ubuntu系统
sudo apt install iperf
说明:不同的系统安装方式不同,这里只介绍ubuntu系统
使用介绍
案例一:工具检验测试
启动一个串口,输入指令
iperf -s
# 开启iperf服务端
效果如下:
启动另一个窗口,输入指令
iperf -c 127.0.0.1
# 作为客户端运行,测试10s回环通信数据
测试结果如下:
上面的例子只是简单测试了回环通信的吞吐量,如果显示正常,说明iperf安装和运行均正常。
案例二:TCP通信测试
先关闭上面的测试窗口,或结束上面的服务程序,我们这里还是以127.0.0.1作回环测试,时间应用场景中只需要把IP地址替换为对应服务端的IP地址即可
启动服务端,输入指令
iperf -s -b 7M -i 5
# 作为服务端运行,带宽7M,报告回显间隔时间5s
效果如下
打开新的terminal,启动客户端,输入指令
iperf -c 127.0.0.1 -b 7M -i 5 -t 30
#作为客户端,连接服务端ip地址127.0.0.1,带宽7M,与服务端保持一致,报告回显间隔5s,测试时间30s
测试效果如下:
我们这里测试吞吐量的结果为7.34M左右,是因为我们限制了测试数据的带宽就是7M,我们做的回环测试,实际回环的吞吐量应该是G为单位,测试过程中,如果发现测试的带宽与限制带宽接近,说明限制设置的太小了,需要适当调整-b参数,或者参考硬件厂家给的指标测试。
案例三:UDP测试
先关闭上面的测试窗口,或结束上面的服务程序,我们这里还是以127.0.0.1作回环测试,时间应用场景中只需要把IP地址替换为对应服务端的IP地址即可
启动服务端,输入指令
iperf -s -u -b 7M -i 5
# 作为UDP服务端启动iperf,限制带宽7M,报告回显时间间隔5s
效果如下:
启动客户端,输入指令
iperf -u -c 127.0.0.1 -b 7M -i 5 -t 30
测试效果如下:
我们这里测试吞吐量的结果为7.34M左右,是因为我们限制了测试数据的带宽就是7M,我们做的回环测试,实际回环的吞吐量应该是G为单位,测试过程中,如果发现测试的带宽与限制带宽接近,说明限制设置的太小了,需要适当调整-b参数,或者参考硬件厂家给的指标测试。
此时服务端显示内容如下:
我们可以看到服务端还可以显示通信延时Jitter(在连续传输中的平滑平均值差)和丢包率:Lost/Total Data
详细解读
我们可以直接参考系统自带的帮助文档,如下:

-c, --client <host> run in client mode, connecting to <host>
-d, --dualtest Do a bidirectional test simultaneously
--ipg set the the interpacket gap (milliseconds) for packets within an isochronous frame

[kmgKMG] Indicates options that support a k,m,g,K,M or G suffix
Lowercase format characters are 10^3 based and uppercase are 2^n based
(e.g. 1k = 1000, 1K = 1024, 1m = 1,000,000 and 1M = 1,048,576)
The TCP window size option can be set by the environment variable
TCP_WINDOW_SIZE. Most other options can be set by an environment variable
IPERF_<long option name>, such as IPERF_BANDWIDTH.

我们抽取我在测试过程中用到的一些参数做一些翻译和解读
Client/Server: # 客户端和服务端公有的参数
带宽参数,单位:字节每秒:kmg或者KMG,小写为10的3次方,大写为2的n次方,比如1k=1000,1K=1024,;单位包数量每秒:pps(packets per second)
-b, --bandwidth #[kmgKMG | pps] bandwidth to send at in bits/sec or packets per second
回显报告的间隔时间
-i, --interval # seconds between periodic bandwidth reports
指定端口号,默认为5001
-p, --port # server port to listen on/connect to
udp模式,不带-u默认为tcp模式
-u, --udp use UDP rather than TCP
tcp窗口大小,默认无上限,可以不设此参数,作为udp模式测试时也不需要此参数 ,单位:KM,1K=1024
-w, --window #[KM] TCP window size (socket buffer size)
Server specific: #服务端私有参数
指定以服务端运行
-s, --server run in server mode
指定测试时间,服务端一般一直开着,不设此参数
-t, --time # time in seconds to listen for new connections as well as to receive traffic (default not set)
Client specific: #客户端私有参数
指定以客户端运行,后面要带服务端的IP地址
-c, --client <host> run in client mode, connecting to <host>
指定测试时间,不带参数默认测试10s
-t, --time # time in seconds to transmit for (default 10 secs)
翻转测试,iperf2并不支持此功能,无法使用,可以推荐使用iperf3
-R, --reverse reverse the test (client receives, server sends)
Miscellaneous: #混合参数,指既不是服务端也不是客户端的时候使用
