11.0 V-Perf
Use the V-Perf icon from the home menu to access the V-Perf menu.
Note that the Air Expert needs to be connected to an AP and network before accessing the V-Perf menu (see
). The V-
Perf test is a dual ended Layer 4 throughput performance test. It uses TCP or UDP traffic to evaluate upload/download
performance on the air interface.
V-Perf dual-ended test is compatible with iPerf3 servers and WiFi Air Expert series units or companion V-Probe responders,
connected directly on Ethernet port on the back of the AP/Router to perform WiFi to Ethernet data throughput tests. The test can
also be performed to a cloud-based server, qualifying WiFi and Broadband access bandwidth in one step.
V-Perf Test
V-Perf is a dual ended throughput test that validates whether TCP/UDP parameters in the network are set up correctly. Test traffic
is generated between a unit acting as a server and a unit acting as a client. A unit acting as a server should be connected on the
wired Ethernet network, preferably directly to the Access Point. A unit acting as a client should be connected on the WiFi interface.
Throughput performance is then tested in the client to server direction (Upload Test) and in the server to client direction (Download
Test). If throughput performance is poor, the test can help identify possible issues. Once this is verified, other tools such as
Spectrum Analyzer should be used in conjunction to identify if there is any interference, signal degradation, noise, or any other
issues.
