I have a Perfsonar Centos Toolkit server set up as a central manager for (hopefully) automating our throughput and latency testing that we only do reactively.

My issue is, when I add a standard TCP throughput test to a remote Ubuntu perfsonar-testpoint machine, it's only able to pull about 25Mbps max for a single stream. There is a point-to-point fiber link between my building where the Central test server is and where the testpoint resides. We had this issue with iperf and we had to have it use a lot of processes to try and max the link out. It is a 500 Mbps link if that helps.

How would I accomplish this task with perfsonar and keep it automated?

Thank you,
