Ethernet performance with Netperf

This page provides information about ethernet performance. Script should generate dokuwiki format. 
Thanks for sending your results (Full script output log + information about your hardware - devel board 
or information about your configuration).

Install guide

Install netserver on your PC
- run netserver

[root@monstr ~]# netserver 
Starting netserver at port 12865
Starting netserver at hostname 0.0.0.0 port 12865 and family AF_UNSPEC

Download test script here (834 B) (quick release)
- Unpack to your petalinux-dist/romfs folder (Check file permission - 755 or 777)
- Please check your kernel hacking (make linux_menuconfig) and disable all options
- Build your kernel with fs (I tested this script on both kernels - MMU and noMMU)

Boot linux kernel
- check if is netmeasure.sh script there
Run the script: netmeasure.sh -h 192.168.0.1 -c 10
- Parameters: -h host IP where netserver is, -c count

ICMP test

# ping -f 192.168.0.102 -c 1000000
PING 192.168.0.102 (192.168.0.102): 56 data bytes
.....................................................................
--- 192.168.0.102 ping statistics ---
1000069 packets transmitted, 1000000 packets received, +1 duplicates, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 0.0/0.8/20.0 ms

Network Performance

It's a new day and even the simplest embedded systems often require Ethernet connectivity. Xilinx FPGAs provide a variety of Ethernet IP that can be easily used with MicroBlaze with the following results.
