[Voyage-linux] Re: [Madwifi-devel] Real throughput tests at 4.4km p2p link

Hi Beat,

Did you use vmstat or others in your test to see if the WRAP boxes are
CPU bound (i.e. 0% CPU idle)?  I have experience that runing iperf
client and server would consume all your CPU power.  So in my
performance test, I don't run iperf on the measured boxed anymore. 
Instead, I use wget to remote download a big file from another local
server.

local-server --- node A ~~~ node B

(node A to B is wireless link)

I measure node B performance by
   wget http://local-server/<some big file> -O /dev/null

The drawback is, node A would influence the result of the test.  WDS
bridge, routing, NAT, firewalling setup in node A would affect the
performance test result in node B.
