Usecases

• Calculate baseline RX/TX
• Debug TOR Switch bottlenecks

Usage

./hperf IP1 IP2 IP3 ...
...
Bandwidth: 1.2 GB/s RX | 1.0 GB/s TX
Bandwidth: 1.2 GB/s RX | 1.1 GB/s TX
Bandwidth: 1.2 GB/s RX | 990 MB/s TX
Bandwidth: 1.2 GB/s RX | 944 MB/s TX

on all the servers IP1 IP2 IP3 ... respectively.

Default ports are 9999 and 10000 make sure your firewalls allow these ports. You may optionally configure ./hperf to use custom ports as well, for example setting port 5001 would require opening up port 5002 as well.

NPERF_PORT=5001 ./hperf IP1 IP2 IP3 ...

On k8s

Using helm

helm install https://github.com/minio/hperf/raw/main/helm-releases/hperf-v4.0.0.tgz --generate-name --namespace <my-namespace>

Using yaml

export NAMESPACE=<my-namespace>
kubectl apply -f https://github.com/minio/hperf/raw/main/hperf.yaml --namespace $NAMESPACE

Observe the output

kubectl logs --namespace <my-namespace> --max-log-requests <replica-count> -l "app=hperf" -f
