Hi all,

what is the easiest way to get flent and netperf running?

I'm helping one student with his paper which is comparing effect of AQM protocols, and I suggested that he uses flent and netperf. He contacted me and said that he had problems with running netperf, I tought that it was only his lack of linux knowledge and that I'll get him unstuck really fast.

I'm a Fedora user and I tried all Fedora and CentOS rpm packages I found for netperf and all of them are missing correct compile option and give this error:

ERROR: Runner TCP upload BE failed check: /usr/bin/netperf does not support demo mode.

Seams that Fedora packages didn't read instructions for compiling and I'll contact them and let them know.

So now I'm looking for your experience and to point me in the right direction. Should I try some version of Ubuntu or Arch?

Thanks!

Valent.
