Testing the speed of two machines connected to the switch simultaneously
Let's check out how to use iPerf and create a simple topology with two virtual machines connected via an OvS bridge (virtual switch) to simulate switch performance test. Usually, people may want to use Speedtest ® to measure the speed of the switch when they encounter the problem that device which connected behind the switch has a slower rate or its speed is much slower than the ISP bandwidth. Isn't this just an extension to your existing question? How can you use two PCs to benchmark. How do you test the network speed between two boxes? iPerf is a tool for active measurements of the maximum achievable bandwidth on IP networks (by iperf. In this use case we are going to check simple outputs for TCP and UDP traffic without any special configuration, compare, and. Two computers, connected via LAN in same way, two very different speeds, pulling my hair out as to why.
