UDP problem on Windows 2000/XP
When running the Iperf windows binary from the web page
I come across the following problem when specifying -l for UDP
streams:
C:\iperf>iperf -c 172.25.25.156 -u -b 10M -l 1000
------------------------------------------------------------
Client connecting to 172.25.25.156, UDP port 5001
Sending 1000 byte datagrams
UDP buffer size: 8.00 KByte (default)
------------------------------------------------------------
[144] local 172.25.25.107 port 1130 connected with 172.25.25.156 port 5001
[ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth
[144] 0.0-10.0 sec 11.9 MBytes 9.99 Mbits/sec
read failed: Message too long
If I remove the -l 1000 option there is no "read failed" message.
It happend on both W2000 and XP. It does not matter if the server is
on Linux or Windows. The specified length does not seem to matter
either.
Is this a known problem, and/or is there a workaround?
