[BENCHMARK] netperf

run netperf

# netperf -l [length] -H [server_IP] -t TCP_STREAM

You should make sure that a client-server pair runs netperf in both directions at the same time. This guarantees that your network is operating well in full-duplex mode. If everything is good, netperf reports a throughput of about 80 MBit/s. For a unidirectional netperf test, you should get about 92-95 MBit/s. For longer tests, increase the -l value.
