@JamesKehr I would never make unfounded accusations. I have done network
testing for decades. And iPerf is just one of the tools in the toolbox.
I think you are completely missing the point. I always try to use
something that is acting like the applications I am going to run on all
the systems in th...
@Brodde You are, of course, welcome to recommend whatever you prefer.
Just as Microsoft is welcome to recommend whatever we prefer. There are
other ways you can test without viewing source code. It's not like
Microsoft can quantum teleport packets between Windows and Linux (could
you even imagine ho...
@JamesKehr Though I think it is good that some of Microsofts source code
is released as FOSS, I am not going to review the code for 2 (or 3)
different applications just to find out that they are not measuring the
actual performance of the system. I would not go through the design
specs., blueprints ...
@Brodde the source code for ntttcp (Windows and Linux) and ctsTraffic is
freely available online in GitHub. The links are in the article. You are
welcome to scrutinize the code, build your own executables, and test
whether the Microsoft numbers and methodologies are accurate or not.
Also, all synthe...
I can see why a company would like you to use their own measuring device
to do performance testing. Wow this car can do 400mph according to the
speedometer! But seriously, with iPerf I am usually interested in
finding the cause for performance issues (usually detecting the worst
cases). If that is a...
