Hi Martyn;

FYI the ndt package comes with a 'C' program that will parse the log file (web100srv.log) and output a bunch of text for each test. Look at the /usr/local/bin/analyze program. The make process built and installed it for you.

Indeed it does Richard, I'm going to try and create a program with either vb or php so the output can be posted in and then try and formulate the results

Hi Martyn;

These are the Web100 variables and values from the server-to-client test. The detailed description of each variable can be found in the web100 kernel patch file. Look at the tcp-kis.txt or draft-ietf-tswg-tcp-mib-extension-XX.txt file where ever you unpacked the kernel patch file (/usr/src/web100 in my case).

To highlight this example, since the data is flowing from the server to the client and ACK's are coming back we see the server generated 11625 data packets (DataPktsOut) and it received 5663 Acks in response or about 1 Ack for every 2 data packets (a typical delayed ack scenario).

Since the client never sent any data, on this socket, the server never returned any ACKs (AckPktsOut: 0)

Does this help?

Is there a site I can visit that will show me what each of the below outputs mean, for example take AckPktsIn: 5663, AckPktsOut: 0

I need to know how to read them to see if they are good or bad results

Regards

Martyn

estimate = 9.75 based on packet size = 11Kbits, RTT = 28.25msec, and loss = 0.001633987
The theoretical network limit is 9.75 Mbps
The NDT server has a 32768.0 KByte buffer which limits the throughput to 9060.66 Mbps
Your PC/Workstation has a 63.0 KByte buffer which limits the throughput to 17.69 Mbps
The network based flow control limits the throughput to 17.74 Mbps

Client Data reports link is 'T1', Client Acks report link is 'T1'
Server Data reports link is 'OC-12', Server Acks report link is 'T3'
