Ian - | Results here now: | http://linux-net.osdl.org/index.php/DCCP_Testing#Regression_testing many thanks indeed for working out these test cases and reference points. Testing is really very much needed at this stage and the input is helpful. The test setup is very useful and I am strongly in favour of using http://linux-net.osdl.org/index.php/DCCP_Testing#Regression_testing as a kind of benchmark for all further development on the test tree - to see whether results deteriorate. If you have links to scripts you use that would be great. I am getting confused by Perry's throughput calculator. Attached is a simple bc(1) script which can be made executable and takes s, R, p. I get different results from the ones on the web page (using 1424 bytes): * for the 150ms / 10% case, I get Xcalc = 132.44 Kbits/sec and * for the 40ms / 1% case, I get Xcalc = 3.27 Mbits/sec But this may likely be due to using slightly different `s' and rounding errors; for live testing it is reasonably close.
#!/usr/bin/bc -l # # Compute the allowed sending rate X_calc using the formula of [RFC 3448, 3.1]. # # This script can be run standalone, or using a pipe. # For example, to compute for # * s=1424 bytes, # * RTT= 150 milliseconds, and # * p = 10 %, # use # echo 1424 150 10 | ./throughput_calculator.bc # # The result is about 132 Kbits/sec scale = 3 define f(p) { return sqrt(2*p/3) + 12 * sqrt(3*p/8) * (32 * p^3 + p) } define xcalc(s,r,p) { return s*8 * 10^3/(r * f(p/100.0)) } print "TFRC throughput calculator\n\n" print "s in bytes: "; s = read() print "RTT in msecs: "; r = read() print "p in % : "; p = read() print "\nXcalc = ", xcalc(s,r,p) / 1024.0, " Kbits/sec\n" quit
