Hi
here is my situation
(Client-Desktop) - Network - (Server-Desktop)
I am running ubuntu 14.04 64 bit on (Server-Desktop) with ip 172.16.116.1
I am running fedora 17 64 bit on (Client-Desktop) with ip 172.16.116.2
My network allows 600Mbps upstream and 1Gbps downstream .
I have to demonstrate 1Gbps downstream data rate.
(1)Currently I ran iperf3 as client on (Client-Desktop) and iperf3 as server on (Server-Desktop) .
Got throughput of 582Mbps .
(2)I ran an ftp server (vsftpd) on (Server-Desktop) and host a 1GB file then did
on client
wget -O- -o log_file --user=NAME --password='PASSWORD'
ftp://server_dekstop_ip/file_in_home_folder &> /dev/null
Got 1Gbps download speed even if my network allows 1Mbps upload speed.
But , now there is hard disk storage constraint on server. So can't host a > 1GB file.
Is there a way to demonstrate 1Gbps downstream speed ?
Thanks.
Please let me know , if I missed any details.
