[netperf-talk] Running Netperf using IPv6

[Ashenafi D]

Hi All,

I am using netperf2.4.1 and able to run netperf on multiple machines using
IPv4 addresses. But when it comes to IPv6 address, the server started
successfully, however when netperf ran on the client, it failed to establish
control.

Then I ran netperf on the machine where the netserver had started, using the
loopback address ::1, no error was reported, but as shown below when I use
eth0 IPv6 address of machine-1, it failed to establish control

[machine-1 ~]$ netserver241 -6
Starting netserver at port 12865
Starting netserver at hostname ::0 port 12865 and family AF_INET6
[machine-1 ~]$

[machine-1 ~]$  netperf241 -6 -H ::1
TCP STREAM TEST from ::0 (::) port 0 AF_INET6 to ::1 (::1) port 0 AF_INET6 :

establish control: are you sure there is a netserver listening on
fe80::209:3dff:fe00:8c6 at port 12865?
establish_control could not establish the control connection from ::0 port 0
address family AF_INET6 to fe80::209:3dff:fe00:8c6 port 12865 address family
AF_INET6
[machine-1 ~]$

Can you please give me some clue on these or point me to the
right documentation about netperf and IPv6.


Thanks in advance,
Ashenafi
