Nick TurnerGUEST
I don't remember the model, but it worked.
Nick TurnerGUEST
And then we were able to run an IPerf server, so we would now force large traffic over the link from the WLAN Pi to the AP.
Keith ParsonsHOST
Which, by the way, is the requirement to trigger MLO is you need to overrun at least the first link.
Nick TurnerGUEST
Yes.
Nick TurnerGUEST
Yes.
Nick TurnerGUEST
And just to make things even more confusing, we were running the speed tests, the iPerf server on the WLAN Pi and testing to that iPerf server from the WLAN Pi, but using different interfaces.
Nick TurnerGUEST
So we set up the
Keith ParsonsHOST
But I'll just kick in here.
Keith ParsonsHOST
Yes.
Keith ParsonsHOST
One on five gig and one six gig.
Keith ParsonsHOST
So even though it was the iPerf was going to itself, it went out over the Wi-Fi to the Cisco AP back into the ethernet port.
Keith ParsonsHOST
And that's a very important.
Nick TurnerGUEST
Yes.

Network ChuckHOST
We'll talk about it here in a bit.
Network ChuckHOST
But here we go, using iPerf to test.
Network ChuckHOST
I'm gonna run a lot.
Network ChuckHOST
With this command, we're gonna obliterate this host with 10 parallel streams for 30 seconds.
Network ChuckHOST
So let's remove that switch and connect my laptop directly to the land port of my Zima board.
Network ChuckHOST
Cause my laptop just so happens to have a two and a half gig port as well.
Network ChuckHOST
I ran iPerf again.
Network ChuckHOST
And unsurprisingly, we had more throughput clocking in about 1.09 gigabits per second.
BenjaminHOST
... uh, the way we should and the way we must? Um, yeah, no, we, we-
FabioHOST
Yeah, 'cause probably it's not a stable platform to run, uh, iPerf, zPerf.
BenjaminHOST
Uh, nope, but we do have, um, uh, iPerf3 support that got added.
BenjaminHOST
Uh, would, would you be able to tell or to talk to the difference compared to iPerf2?
FabioHOST
Yeah, absolutely.
