Hi all,
I tried to also test this out on my system.
As I am not familiar with what all the command options do I just followed Daniels commands.
There is a man page for it: https://man-pages.ipfire.org/fireperf/fireperf.html
server: IPFire 2.25 - Core Update 153; Intel Celeron CPU J1900 @ 1.99GHz x4; I211 Gigabit Network Connection
client: Arch Linux; Intel Core i5-8400 CPU @ 2.80GHz 6 core; 1GBit nic
Server: fireperf -s -P 10000 -p 63000:630010
Client: fireperf -c <IP address> -P 1 -x -p 63000:63010 where <IP address> was replaced with the IP address of my IPFire Green connection.
I started the server fireperf and there was the table updating regularly.
I started the client and got "Could not open socket: Address family not supported by protocol" scrolling up the screen.
That is interesting. Could you please start the same thing again with strace?
strace -o strace.log fireperf -c ...
Please send the log file to me and hopefully I will be able to find something.
I looked in the log (journalctl) but there were no messages at all related to fireperf just the command being run.
Fireperf does not log to syslog at all at the moment.
Earlier it did, but I didn’t see any point in doing so.
Any thoughts on what I am missing to have setup or installed?
Regards,
Adolf.

Hi guys,
today I installed fireperf on my testing IPFire and my Ubuntu PC.
server: IPFire Core 154; Intel i7 4790; Intel 82571EB/GB 1GBit Nic Client: Ubuntu 20.4; Intel i7 9700; Intel i219-V 1GBit Nic
Michael and I agreed that one more port should be opened per 5000 expected connection per second (cps)
So here my results:
Server: fireperf -s -P 10000 -p 63000:630010
Client: fireperf -c <IP address> -P 1 -x -p 63000:63010 -> ~5000 cps
fireperf -c <IP address> -P 10 -x -p 63000:63010 -> ~30000-35000 cps
fireperf -c <IP address> -P 100 -x -p 63000:63010 -> ~35000-40000 cps
fireperf -c <IP address> -P 1000 -x -p 63000:63010 -> ~40000-45000 cps
fireperf -c <IP address> -P 10000 -x -p 63000:63010 -> ~46000-48000 cps
The cpu utilization was limited to one core and increased in sync with the cps on both sides.
In my last test, the utilization was about 85-100% on the server and 75-95% on the client.
In the next days I will test our mini and post the results here.
