iPerf / iPerf3 iOS to Mac OS Testing Examples
Following software and hardware used for examples.
WiFiPerf – iPerf app for iOS
iPerf3 – iPerf for Mac OS
iPhone 4, iOS 5 Beta 7
Macbook Air, Mac OS Lion
Test results between an iPhone 4 running iOS 5 beta 7 and Macbook Air running Mac OS Lion. Both devices are connected to the same access point. The goal if this testing is to show the different test types not performance of devices or wireless network.
iOS iPerf Server to Mac OS Lion iPerf Client Test
Basic Mac OS iPerf client to iOS iPerf server test.
Config/Operation items to confirm:
- WiFiPerf is in foreground
- iOS is not sleep mode
- WiFiPerf server is enabled
- Server port configured matches port used by client
- Both devices can reach each other via IP addresses

Tap Log screen from Server Setting screen to see new results.
Parallel Client Test
Configure WiFiPerf on iOS as server. Use iPerf3 on Mac OS as client.
./iperf3 -c 172.16.12.104 -t 60 -i 10 -P 5
-t = 60 second test
-i = interval results every 10 seconds
-P = 5 parallel clients
