iPerf tool for HCoS testing
iPerf is a point-to-point network tool for active measurements of throughput between two servers in both directions. As we have 2 physical servers we need to install iPerf tool on all servers with command sudo apt-get install iperf3. We will test the bandwidth speed from the origin servers (iperf client server) in fact HCoS#1-A, HCoS#1-C and HCoS#2-D to the destination server (iperf listening server) in fact HCoS#2-B.
