TESTING NETWORK PERFORMANCE IN SOLARIS

2 tool netio & netperf

ada banyak cara untuk melihat throughput network pada ujung card network. berikut ini kalau di solaris

netio

Created by Kai Uwe Rommel, it tests by sending and receiving packets of varying sizes and reports throughput in kilobytes per second.

Installation
x86
# wget ftp://ftp.sunfreeware.com/pub/freeware/intel/10/netio-1.26-sol10-x86-local.gz
# gzip -d netio-1.26-sol10-x86-local.gz
# pkgadd -d netio-1.26-sol10-x86-local
SPARC
# wget ftp://ftp.sunfreeware.com/pub/freeware/sparc/10/netio-1.26-sol10-sparc-local.gz
# gzip -d netio-1.26-sol10-sparc-local.gz
# pkgadd -d netio-1.26-sol10-sparc-local
Usage
Server-side
# netio -u -s
Client-side
# netio -u SERVER_IP_ADDRESS

Here are results on a 100Mbps link:
UDP connection established.
Packet size 1k bytes: 11913 KByte/s (0%) Tx, 11468 KByte/s (0%) Rx.
Packet size 2k bytes: 11954 KByte/s (0%) Tx, 11509 KByte/s (0%) Rx.
Packet size 4k bytes: 12274 KByte/s (0%) Tx, 11687 KByte/s (0%) Rx.
Packet size 8k bytes: 12284 KByte/s (0%) Tx, 11697 KByte/s (0%) Rx.
Packet size 16k bytes: 12292 KByte/s (0%) Tx, 11702 KByte/s (0%) Rx.
Packet size 32k bytes: 12348 KByte/s (0%) Tx, 11714 KByte/s (0%) Rx.
Done.
Sending and receiving hovered around 11-12MB/s which is on par with 100Mbps.
netperf

Created by Rick Jones and discovers the maximum throughput of a link, reporting in megabits per second.

Installation
# wget ftp://ftp.netperf.org/netperf/netperf-2.4.4.tar.gz
# tar zxvf netperf-2.4.4.tar.gz
# cd netperf-2.4.4
# export CFLAGS="-lsocket -lnsl -lkstat"
# ./configure
# make
# make install
Usage
Server-side
# netserver
Client-side
# netperf -H SERVER_IP_ADDRESS

Here are results on a 100Mbps link:
Recv Send Send
Socket Socket Message Elapsed
Size Size Size Time Throughput
bytes bytes bytes secs. 10^6bits/sec

49152 49152 49152 10.00 94.88

94.88 Mbps is the final result, not bad.
