TCP Traffic - Computer Networking Lab 3
Resources Geni Web Page Video Explanation Description This module gives students experience generating and analyzing TCP flows. Students will use iperf to create a flow and view the sawtooth behavior. A second flow will then be introduced to show how TCP flows share a link. Objective Use iperf to generate TCP traffic Start the iperf server; this allows the node to receive iperf traffic. The ampersand(&) allows the command to run in the background while the console is in use. iperf -s & Start the iperf client; this opens a TCP connection to the iperf server on the server node and begins sending packets. The (-c) indicates that iperf should run in clinet mode and it should connect to the host named "server." The "-i 10" tell iperf to print updates every 10 seconds and "-t 180" indicates that the client should run for 180 seconds before closing the connection. iperf -c server -i 10 -t 180 & Have an understanding of how...
