perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Brian Tierney <>]

You could try increasing die_by and/or control_timeout   in /etc/bwctld/bwctld.conf, but are you sure there is not a firewall blocking the test?

That will will also cause the test to time out. You need to make sure the full range of owamp and bwctl ports is open.

Dear all,

While performing some test campaign I receive this kind of output quite often, both when using owamp and iperf3 as tool.

Though I know there is some slowness in our network I wonder if there is any parameter that I can use with bwping or bwctl to make this frequency decrease, even at the cost of slowing down a bit the test execution speed.

 

Thank you

Gaetano
