New to unRAID need help with ipref

[rmilyard]

I installed Nerdpack and ipref3.  How do I run it so I can test speed from my Windows 10 PC?

I ran it between my two unRAID servers and got the following results:

 

 

940+ Mbits/sec is not too bad on a gigabit LAN.

 

You'll have to install iperf for Windows (https://iperf.fr/iperf-download.php) to test throughput between Windows client and unRAID server, but, the syntax is the same and you can run it from the cmd prompt.

 

I invoked iperf in server mode on one unRAID machine with the following:

 

iperf3 -s

 

On the other server I ran it in client mode with the following:

 

iperf3 -c (IP address to the "server") -t 10 -P 10

 

-t says run a 10 second test and -P starts 10 worker threads to max out the connection.

So I have 10gb NIC in unRAID server to a Dell x1052 switch connected with DAC cable.  From switch to my PC with Intel x520 NIC via fiber OM2 cable.

 

Here is what I got.

OK, so now I am jealous.  Looks like a fast network!
