Getting Started

What is iPerf / iPerf3 ?

iPerf3 is a tool for active measurements of the maximum achievable bandwidth on IP networks. It supports tuning of various parameters related to timing, buffers and protocols (TCP, UDP, SCTP with IPv4 and IPv6). For each test it reports the bandwidth, loss, and other parameters. This is a new implementation that shares no code with the original iPerf and also is not backwards compatible. iPerf was orginally developed by NLANR/DAST. iPerf3 is principally developed by ESnet / Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. It is released under a three-clause BSD license.

Build

Prerequisites

Docker

Running

1. Clone this repo
2. Build image from Dockerfile

docker build -t android-ndk:latest .

3. Run container and fetch binaries

docker run -d --name android-ndk-container android-ndk
mkdir -p binaries
docker cp -a android-ndk-container:/tmp/libs binaries
docker stop android-ndk-container

Usage

To upload binary file to an Android device

adb push <LOCAL_PATH_TO_BINARY_FILE> /data/local/tmp/<BINARY_NAME>
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/<BINARY_NAME>

Set a default iPerf2 version

adb shell ln -s /data/local/tmp/<IPERF2_BINARY_NAME> iperf

Executing iPerf2

adb shell /data/local/tmp/iperf <IPERF_ARGUMENTS>

Set a default iPerf3 version

adb shell ln -s /data/local/tmp/<IPERF3_BINARY_NAME> iperf3

Executing iPerf3

adb shell /data/local/tmp/iperf3 <IPERF_ARGUMENTS>
