perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Chris Magnuson <>]

Mike,

 

Thank you, that is exactly what I needed!

 

The article indicates that “There are two ways to enable UDP testing, and both involve modifications to this file” but it doesn’t mention that the file is /etc/bwctl-server/bwctl-server.limits in the article.

 

The command to restart the bwctl service is now “/etc/init.d/bwctl-server restart”

 

Do you know who I should pass these corrections on to?

 

Thanks again for your help,

 

Chris

UDP testing is disabled by default, to enable it:

Subject: [perfsonar-user] Trick to setting up UDP throughput tests

 

Perfsonar-User,

 

I have setup perfsonar a couple of times and currently have three perfsonar nodes in our environment.

 

I have tried to setup a UDP throughput test a number of times and each time I end up going back to setting up a TCP throughput test as the UDP throughput test doesn’t run or log results.

 

This has happened across multiple perfsonar setups a year plus apart from each other and I suspect I am just doing something wrong or missing a requirement to make this work that I didn’t notice.

 

I currently have the following UDP test configured on one of my nodes:

 

 

Here are the other tests I have configured:

 

 

If setup a TCP throughput test between the same nodes it works fine.

 

Any ideas as to why the UDP throughput test doesn’t run or doesn’t seem to log results that show up when I click the details link under test results?

 

Thanks,

Chris Magnuson Technical Services Manager d: 941.441.4491
