Hi, folks
I'm benchmarking my environment, but I'm a bit confused about the propper whay to use the iPerf3 tool on a 10Gbps connection:
When I run iPerf like ".\iperf3.exe -c 10.10.1.1", my results are about 4Gbps.
So, I had to specify ".\iperf3.exe -c 10.10.1.1 -P 4" for four parallel workers in order to achieve 10Gbps on this link.
Is that correct? Was it expected to have 10Gbps on a single worker? There is any recommended parameters to benchmark 10Gbps on iPerf?
My hardware is a Dell R610 with 2 x Broadcom NetExtreme II BCM57711 dual 10Gbps DAC apater.
I was testing the SYNC link, directly attached between two machines, but no notticiable difference testing same thing trough the SAN link connected on the 10Gbps switch.
Thanks a lot
