Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] iperf UDP throughput

Date: Tue, 27 Mar 2012 12:40:49 +0000 (GMT+00:00)
Well, it says so:

D:\iPerf>iperf --help

[...]

Client specific:
  -b, --bandwidth #[KM]    for UDP, bandwidth to send 
at in bits/sec
                           (default 1 Mbit/sec, implies -u)
[...]

regards

Marc
