iperf: Run on client every 2 seconds.
$ iperf -c ${server_address} -i ${2}
try on your machine
This command is using the iperf tool to measure the network performance between a client and a server.
Here is the breakdown of the command:
- "iperf" is the command to execute the iperf tool.
- "-c" indicates that the client mode will be used.
- "${server_address}" is a placeholder for the actual IP address or hostname of the server where the iperf server is running. It should be replaced with the appropriate server address.
- "-i ${2}" is an option to set the interval for which the report is generated. The "${2}" is another placeholder which should be replaced with the desired interval value in seconds. For example, if you want the report to be generated every 2 seconds, you would replace "${2}" with "2".
Overall, this command is used to initiate an iperf client and connect it to an iperf server at the specified server address. It will then measure and report the network performance at the specified interval.
