Ethernet iperf Example
(See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.)
Overview
This example demonstrates basic usage of iperf protocol to measure the throughout/bandwidth of Ethernet.
The cli environment in the example is based on the console component.
How to use example
Hardware Required
To run this example, it's recommended that you have an official ESP32 Ethernet development board - ESP32-Ethernet-Kit. This example should also work for 3rd party ESP32 board as long as it's integrated with a supported Ethernet PHY chip. Up until now, ESP-IDF supports up to four Ethernet PHY: LAN8720
, IP101
, DP83848
and RTL8201
, additional PHY drivers should be implemented by users themselves.
Besides that, esp_eth
component can drive third-party Ethernet module which integrates MAC and PHY and provides common communication interface (e.g. SPI, USB, etc). This example will take the DM9051 as an example, illustrating how to install the Ethernet driver in the same manner.
Pin Assignment
See common pin assignments for Ethernet examples from upper level.
Software Tools Preparation
- Install iperf tool on PC
- Debian/Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install iperf
- macOS:
brew install iperf
(if using Homebrew) orsudo port install iperf
(if using MacPorts) - Windows(MSYS2): Downloads binaries from here
- Debian/Ubuntu:
Configure the project
idf.py menuconfig
In addition to the common configurations for Ethernet examples from upper level, you might also need to update the default value of following configurations:
- In the
Example Configuration
menu:- Enable storing history commands in flash under
Store command history in flash
.
- Enable storing history commands in flash under
Build, Flash, and Run
Build the project and flash it to the board, then run monitor tool to view serial output:
idf.py -p PORT build flash monitor
(Replace PORT with the name of the serial port to use.)
(To exit the serial monitor, type Ctrl-]
.)
See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.
Example Output
Test uplink bandwidth
- PC: run command:
iperf -u -s -i 3
to start iperf server in UDP mode, and report interval is 3 seconds. - ESP32: run command:
iperf -u -c PC_IP -i 3 -t 30
to start iperf client in UDP mode, and the test will last 30 seconds.

Suggestions of getting higher bandwidth
- Higher MCU working frequency will get higher bandwidth.
- Put frequency invoked function into IRAM via macro
IRAM_ATTR
in code. - Priority of iperf task may also have effect.
