aws-networking-test-performance

This is a simple way for test your bandwith and throughput network on amazon-linux.

Install iperf3

sudo yum --enablerepo=epel install iperf iperf3

1 - Server:

You must enter in your amazon-linux instance and start iperf3 as a server.

iperf3 -s -p 8080

flags:

-s: server mode

-p: port to listen

2 - Client:

iperf3 -c server_ip -i 1 -t 10 -V -p 80 -Z -f M

flags:

-c: client mode you have to put the server ip_address

-i: interval that you use to send data between client and server

-t: time

-p: port where server is listening

-Z: mode zero-copy

-f: Format the output in megabytes

Example:

The client and server are r3.xlarge and they have enabled ENA interfaces.

Results:

You have tranfered 1.13 GBytes in 10 seconds with a Bandwidth 115 MBytes/sec, you can see and review such second in the output, too yo can see how Retr(retransmisisons) or CWND(congestion window) you have.
