[netperf-talk] testing two 10G networkcards on same host

[Alan Woods]

Hi Rick
I am testing two  10G network cards on the same machine, I want to run netserver so it only looks at one card and net perf so it transmits through the other card. When I run it it runs ok but the results show that it must be just looping through the kernel and not transmitting through physical interface. As I only have one fast machine to do the testing is it possible to force netperf to transmitt through one physical interface to the second card interface.
 I have card 1 on 10.0.2.2 and card 2 on 10.0.2.3

netserver -L 10.0.2.2, AF_INET -4
netperf -H 10.0.2.3 -L 10.0.2.3,AF_INET -4


Is it possible to do the test this way or does the server have to be on a
seperate machine

Many thanks
Alan
