[Make-wifi-fast] Fastest way to setup netperf and flent?

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.

The package in Debian/Ubuntu  non-free should work. Otherwise, it's
fairly straight forward to compile netperf from source. If you just
stick it in /usr/local/bin (i.e., $PATH before the system-package
version), Flent should pick it up from there...

Hi Valent,

You will need to build netperf from source:

   https://github.com/HewlettPackard/netperf

   $ ./configure --enable-demo
   $ make
   $ make install

You may need to install devel package first (compiler ...etc)


Then you should get the netperf that enable the demo mode

Best Regards,
Louie.

Thanks, you were right, it was easy to compile netperf on Fedora, got it
running without problems.

Just a small correction, there is one step before ./configure, and full
procedure to compile netperf is:

   $ git clone git@github.com:HewlettPackard/netperf.git
   $ cd netperf
   $ ./autogen.sh
   $ ./configure --enable-demo
   $ make
   $ sudo make install

Cheers,
Valent.

Finally got netperf and flent working on Raspberry Pi, thanks Toke to
pushing me in the right direction of manual compilation.

Here are the steps to get netperf and flent working of latest clean Rasbian
install:

   $ sudo apt install autotools-dev automake
   $ git clone https://github.com/HewlettPackard/netperf.git
   $ cd netperf
   $ ./autogen.sh
   $ ./configure --enable-demo
   $ make
   $ sudo make install
   $ sudo pip install flent

And that is it :)

In order to get plots to work matplotlib needs to be installed, so:
    $ sudo pip install matplotlib

I also answered this question raised on Raspberry Pi StackExchange:

Could you try running Flent with `-v --debug-error`, please? My guess
would be a missing backend or something like that...

Hmm. It seems that matplotlib is not pulling in numpy as a dependency;
try 'pip install numpy'?

Seams like numpy is already installed:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo pip install numpy
Looking in indexes: https://pypi.org/simple, https://www.piwheels.org/simple
Requirement already satisfied: numpy in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages

Um, I'd switch to python3 entirely

pip3 install bla

Thanks Dave,
I can confirm that using python3 works, flent now draws lots with
matplotlib and shows no errors.
