| 89 | Test Characteristics: |
| 90 | - All test hosts are dedicate hosts (bare metal/raw-pc) unless otherwise stated |
| 91 | - All results are captured for default bandwidth allocation (100Mb/s shaped), unless otherwise stated. |
| 92 | - All results collected between January 2014 |
| 93 | |
| 94 | Iperf TCP measurements captured in this page have the following assumptions: |
| 95 | - All results are for a 60 second test run. |
| 96 | - For !OpenFlow scenarios, traffic is exchanged before each of the measurements below to establish data flows: |
| 97 | - iperf '1 client' scenario command: 'iperf -c dest_host -t 60' |
| 98 | - iperf '5 clients' scenario command: 'iperf -c dest_host -t 60 -P 5' |
| 99 | - iperf '10 clients' scenario command: 'iperf -c dest_host -t 60 -P 10' |
| 100 | |
| 101 | Iperf UDP measurements captured in this page have the following assumptions: |
| 102 | - Each test run is 60 seconds and traffic is exchanged before each of the measurements to establish a data flow. |
| 103 | - UDP measurements between racks requested a bandwidth of 100 Mbits/sec, if results showed that 100Mb/s was possible, then increased to 1Gb/s. |
