I was bored and wanted to see what kind of sustained speeds I can get between various hosts so I transfered 100GB between two vlans using iperf.
But then look at the graph, it's saying I only transferred 10GB?
Why is that? I tend to rely on those stats to get an idea of my internet usage, not that it matters much since my ISP is unlimited, but I expect stats to actually be real. This is WAY off. Anyone else ever notice this?
Code:
[root@vpnsrv ~]# iperf -c borg.loc -n 100G
------------------------------------------------------------
Client connecting to borg.loc, TCP port 5001
TCP window size: 19.3 KByte (default)
------------------------------------------------------------
[ 3] local 10.5.1.5 port 60875 connected with 10.1.1.10 port 5001
[ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth
