Did some network performance tests with my new Shuttle DS57U. I installed the actual IP Fire 2.17 Core Update 89 on a 16GB SDHC Card, connected the Intel i211 NIC to internal (green) interface and the Intel i218LM NIC to the external, red Interface. I also started the OpenVPN Server on the external Interface. Here are the results…
1st test. Plain routing:
iperf -c 192.168.0.200 -w 256k -l 256k -P2
————————————————————
Client connecting to 192.168.0.200, TCP port 5001
TCP window size: 256 KByte
————————————————————
[ 4] local 192.168.1.1 port 52004 connected with 192.168.0.200 port 5001
[ 3] local 192.168.1.1 port 52003 connected with 192.168.0.200 port 5001
[ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth
[ 4] 0.0-10.0 sec 562 MBytes 471 Mbits/sec
[ 3] 0.0-10.0 sec 562 MBytes 471 Mbits/sec
[SUM] 0.0-10.0 sec 1.10 GBytes 941 Mbits/sec
2nd test. Download an ISO image from internet. Proxy and URL filter (ad, adv) were active:
30MB/s…this is limited to my 250 MBit/s Internet connection :-/
3rd test. OpenVPN Performance:
iperf -c 192.168.1.200 -w 256k -l 256k -t 60
