I don't see a way in iperf to get this stat, I will try to find another tool, I did a crude test which basically involved clearing the counters on my switch, using a stop watch and measuring the time period. the results were approx 43,000 pps (1467476 packets sent, 718984 recieved during the 1.7GByte test), throughput was 400Mbit > The fastest pc os around according to google is FreeBSD which has broken the > 1Mpps limit on pc hardware (2.8 GHz Xeon), but that is not wirespeed. yeah I remember reading that news when they first broke that > If you expect to see wire speed your box has to handle 1.5Mpps, for just one > direction GigE. What kind of pps numbers are you seeing ? not really expecting wire 1Gbit speed, just closer to the wire speed I am getting (~700Mbit) without the bridge. as-is I am getting 200-300Mbit less vs going raw over the switch. I will try to look for another tool, if you or anyone has any suggestions let me know thanks nate
