iPerf Test The iPERF test is a modern alternative for measuring maximum TCP and UDP bandwidthperformance.

iPERF can create TCP and UDP data streams and measure the throughput of the networkthat is carrying them. iPERF allows tuning of various parameters and UDP characteristics.iPERF reports bandwidth, delay jitter, datagram loss. iPERF test has both client and servercomponents and can measure the throughput between the client and server, eitherunidirectional or bidirectionally. When used for testing UDP capacity, iPERF allows setting ofthe datagram size and provides results for the datagram throughput and the packet loss.When used for testing TCP capacity, iPERF measures the throughput of the payload.

In a typical iPERF test, there is a server iPERF and a client iPERF. The server iPERF must be

started before the client iPERF, else the test will fail.Follow the below steps to configure iPERF server:

1 Download the iPERF precompiled binary file from the link: http://iperf.fr/2 Open the command prompt and go to the directory where the binary is located.3 For configuring the server in TCP mode, execute following command:

a To run on default port 5001, type iperf -sb To run on specific port, type iperf -s -p port_number

4 For configuring the Server in UDP mode, execute the following command:a To run on default port 5001, type iperf -s -ub To run on specific port, type iperf -s -u -p port_number

You can find the iPERF client binary file version 2.0.4 in the device SD card > FTA > iperf directory. You must also use the same iPERF version on the server.

If all 4 passes for a cycle then only that cycle ispassed (in other words if loss% is 0 then only a cycle passes).

RTT: The Round Trip Time of a cycle is calculated by finding the average RTT of all pingsper cycle.

TTL - The Time to Live of one cycle is calculated by finding the average TTL of each pingsper cycle.

TraceRoute Test

This test runs a trace route on a data connection. This diagnostic utility determines the routetaken to a destination by sending Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo packetswith varying Time-To-Live (TTL) values to the destination. Each router along the path isrequired to decrement the TTL on a packet by at least 1 before forwarding it, so the TTL iseffectively a hop count.

When the TTL on a packet reaches zero, the router is supposed to send back an ICMP TimeExceeded message to the source system. Trace route determines the route by sending thefirst echo packet with a TTL of 1 and incrementing the TTL by 1 on each subsequenttransmission until the target responds or the maximum TTL is reached.

The route is determined by examining the ICMP Time Exceeded messages sent back by

intermediate routers. Notice that some routers silently drop packets with expired time-to-live(TTLs) and will be invisible to trace route.

The default time out for a trace route action is 1000 milliseconds.

Test Settings

TRACERT Host Type - Select the host type as DNS or IP. If you select the host type asDNS, you must enter the host name in the below field. If you select host type as IP, youmust enter the IP address in the below field.

TRACERT Host Name - Enter the destination address which can be either a host name orthe IP address to trace the route.

TRACERT Mode Type - Tap to select mode type as Normal or Change . If you select modetype as Normal , the test runs one cycle. If you select mode type as Change , the test willdetect if there is any change in the IP route compared to the base line. You must first addTRACERT test as Normal mode before you can add TRACERT test as Change mode. Thechange mode detects the change in the route. If there is change in the route, the test isfailed else it is passed. The Mode Type is displayed at the bottom right of the test in theTest Sequencer screen.

Timeout (ms) - Set the time out in milli seconds after which the test will stop.

Max No. of Hops - Set the maximum number of hops that you would like to limit the traceroute to. This value is displayed at the top right of the test in the Test Sequencer screen.

Test Results

Success - Destination is reachable within the specified number of hops for the normalmode. For change mode, number of hops are same for baseline and child traceroute.

Destination Host Unreachable - No Internet Connection is available when traceroutemode is normal.

Unknown Host - The hostname could not be resolved when the trace route mode isNormal .

Unable to Compare - The hostname could not be resolved when the trace route mode isChange .

IP Route CHANGED - When there is a mismatch in baseline hop and its child hops.
