Deployment Method:

NOTE

This applies to both open source and commercial editions of Chocolatey.

1. Enter Your Internal Repository Url

(this should look similar to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/)


2. Setup Your Environment

1. Ensure you are set for organizational deployment

Please see the organizational deployment guide

2. Get the package into your environment

  • Open Source or Commercial:
    • Proxy Repository - Create a proxy nuget repository on Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or a proxy Chocolatey repository on ProGet. Point your upstream to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/. Packages cache on first access automatically. Make sure your choco clients are using your proxy repository as a source and NOT the default community repository. See source command for more information.
    • You can also just download the package and push it to a repository Download

3. Copy Your Script

choco upgrade iperf2 -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" --version="'2.0.14.1'" [other options]

See options you can pass to upgrade.

See best practices for scripting.

Add this to a PowerShell script or use a Batch script with tools and in places where you are calling directly to Chocolatey. If you are integrating, keep in mind enhanced exit codes.

If you do use a PowerShell script, use the following to ensure bad exit codes are shown as failures:


choco upgrade iperf2 -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" --version="'2.0.14.1'" 
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE

Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
  Exit 0
}

Exit $exitCode

Description

A network traffic tool for measuring TCP and UDP performance. The goals include maintaining an active iperf 2 code base (code originated from iperf 2.0.5), preserving interoperability with iperf 2.0.5 clients and servers, preserving the output for scripts (new enhanced output requires -e), adopt known 2.0.x bug fixes, maintain broad platform support, as well as add some essential feature enhancements mostly driven by WiFi testing needs. Also added python code to centralize test control.

Iperf 2 vs iperf 3 major differences: Iperf 2 here has timing related stats including end/end packet latency w/histograms (clocks assumed to be synced); supports multicast including SSM; supports threaded operation; supports L2 length checks. Iperf3 is a "cleaner" code base per a rewrite; supports json output; uses a test connection; is single threaded.

Iperf2 and iperf3 do not interoperate.

o TCP read count, TCP read histogram (8 bins)
o Server will close the socket after -t seconds of no traffic

2.0.9 change set (as of June 2016)

o Server thread mbuf length checks
o remove trailing whitespace across all files in the git repository
o Support peer version detection and exchange with -X option
o Add UDP buffer size minimum checks and warnings prior to peer test exchange
o 2.0.5 interop testing and fixes (assume lots of 2.0.5 servers in the field)
o Fix thread settings per hdr xhcange fixes
o Fix for -P and -d used together
o Error on client and -D
o Fix local port binding on client to support both v4 and v6
o Fix more on use clock_gettime() over gettimeofday() when available
o Treat ENOBUFS as transient, i.e. don't exit on this error
o Python: add flows directory and skeleton flows code using asyncio
o Python: Support flows stats in dictionary for pandas

2.0.11 change set (as of May 24th, 2018)
o support for -b on server (read rate limiting)
o honor -T (ttl) for unicast. (Note: the default value is 1 so this will impact unicast tests that require routing)
o support for --isochronous traffic with optional frames per second, mean and variance uses a log normal distribution (requires configure w/-enable-isochronous and compile)
o support for --udp triggers (requires configure w/ --enable-udptriggers, early code with very limited support)
o support for --udp-histogram with optional bin width and number of bins (default is 1 millisecond bin width and 1000 bins)
o support for frame (burst) latency histograms when --isochronous is set
o support for --tx-sync with -P for synchonrized writes. Initial use is for WiFi OFDMA latency testing.
o support for --incr-dstip with -P for simultaneous flows to multiple destinations (use case is for OFDMA)
o support for --vary-load with optional weight, uses log normal distribution (requires -b to set the mean)
o support for --l2checks to detect L2 length errors not detected by v4 or v6 payload length errors (requires linux, berkeley packet filters BPFs and AF_PACKET socket support)
o support for server joining mulitcast source specific multicast (S,G) and (*,G) for both v4 and v6 on platforms that support it
o improved write counters (requires -e)
o accounting bug fix on client when write fails, this bug was introduced in 2.0.10
o slight restructure client/server traffic thread code for maintainability
o python: flow example script updates
o python: ssh node object using asyncio
o python: histograms in flows with plotting (assumed gnuplot available)
o python: hierarchical clustering of latency histograms (early code)
o man pages updates
o Note: latency histograms require client and server system clock synchronization. A GPS disciplined oscillator using Precision Time Protocol works well for this.

2.0.12 change set (as of June 25th 2018)
o Change the unicast TTL default value from 1 to the system default (to be compatable with previous versions.) Mulitcast still defaults to 1.
o adpative formatting bug fix: crash occurs when values exceed 1 Tera. Add support for Tera and Peta and eliminate the potential crash condition
o configure default compile to include isochronous support (use configure --disable-isochronous to remove support)
o replace 2.0.11's --vary-load option with a more general -b option to include mean,stdev, e.g. -b 100m,40m, which will pull from a log normal distribution every 0.1 seconds
o fixes for windows cross compile (using mingw32)
o compile flags of -fPIE for android
o configure --enable-checkprograms to compile ancillary binaries used to test things such as delay, isoch, pdf generation
o compile tests when trying to use 64b seq numbers on a 32b platform
o Fix GCC ver 8 warnings

2.0.13 change set (as of January 22, 2019)

o Fix breakage to -r and -d options
o Fix so ctrl-c works with -r and -d
o Fix ctrl-c on server to have a graceful exit including print report
o Fix kfreebsd compile breakage per multicast support
o The UDP final server report may be larger than the client's -l length, fix the client to read maximum packet length for that instead of using -l as the read size
o Minor code clean up around write errors
o Added netpower to TCP client enhanced output (throughput/RTT)
o Display TCP client connect time in the connected to message
o use IPV6_TCLASS for ipv6 (-V) dscp/tos (-S) if available
o Add suport for --txstart-time value where value is epoch/unix format, e.g. iperf -c 192.168.100.33 --txstart-time 1536090358.515
o Add support for socket option SO_MAX_PACING_RATE using --fq-rate
o Add configure support for --enable-fastsampling, allowing 100 microsecond report intervals
o Add support for --trip-time on the client. Measures client's 3WHS done to client's fin+fin-ack, reported on the server requires -e and synchronized clocks
o Support for 64 bit sequence numbers on by default, no longer requires --udp-counters-64bit, interoperates with 2.0.5 32 bit sequence numbers
o Integer fixes for 64 bit, int max, printf, etc.
o Obsolete the need for include/slim_headers.h
o Update man page to have some example usages

2.0.14a change set (as of January 30th, 2019)
o Fix the case when -P value is set on the server such that Summing output is displayed. While -P isn't really needed on the server, some existing systems use it.
A latent defect to this seemed to have been introduced around the 2.0.8 release.
