netperf-netserver

Container images for Netperf and Netserver for Docker/Podman or any other container runtime.

• Exampe usage running netserver as a daemon with the -D option (example is on the same host using the private address of the container e.g. 172.17.0.x):

$ docker run  -itd --rm --name=netserver -p 12865:12865 networkstatic/netserver -D
# or use podman and/or quay.io
$ podman run  -itd --rm --name=netserver -p 12865:12865 quay.io/networkstatic/netserver -D

• Get the IP address of the instance you just started:

$ docker inspect --format "{{ .NetworkSettings.IPAddress }}" netserver

• Run client tests against the server using netperf with:

# docker run  -it --rm quay.io/networkstatic/netperf -H <INSERT_NETSERVER_IP>

• Example output between two containers on the same host:

$ docker run  -it --rm quay.io/networkstatic/netperf -H 172.17.0.2

• See additional netserver runtime options passing the -h argument:

$ docker run  -itd --rm --name=netserver -p 12865:12865 networkstatic/netserver -h
