Cant understand, can u please explain in detail what is the meaning of UDP bandwidth setting?
commented Jan 23, 2015 by Salil Agrawal
While testing UL and DL with the use of iperf tool,
In that for UDP for setting the bandwidth we are giving (-b 64M)
But in case of TCP we are not setting the bandwidth. (-b is not there for TCP)
Ex: For UDP:
iperf -c IP.ADDR -i 5 -p port no. -u -t time -b bandwidth

EX: for TCP:
iperf -c IP.ADDR -i 5 -p port no. -t time

Because for TCP it is unlimited :)

NFQUEUE and TCP retransmission

When the following iptables rule is used:
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 1234 -j NFQUEUE --queue-num 0

If a TCP packet is re-transmitted, will the userspace program receive the re-transmitted packet ? or it just receive one packet, and the re-transmitted one is dropped in kernel space ?
