perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Verena Venus <>]

Hi Ralph,

it seems that the iperf project isn't maintained that well, so it is a bit 
difficult to find things.

However, you can download the sources for 2.0.2 there. Click on "downloads" 
and then click on iperf to get several versions of source tarballs. There's 
the 2.0.2 tarball available

RPMforge does not have an iperf-2.0.2 package, but most of the other 
dependencies needed, that's why it is mentioned there. You are not forced to 
use this repository, it is just a recommendation to ease the installation 
process. RPM packages can be obtained from other sources as well. You can 
e.g. 
use RPM Search (http://rpm.pbone.net/) to find packages from different 
download sources and install them by hand. RPM Search lists quite some 
iperf-2.0.2 packages, so maybe there is one for your system, too.

Hope this helps,
Verena
