This document contains a detailed overview of a network performance test using Iperf. The test involved connecting to a server named R2D2 with a TCP window size set to 14 bytes. Results indicate that such a small window size significantly affects performance, with tested bandwidth reaching up to 77.7 Mbits/sec. The report highlights the importance of window size adjustments and encourages users to consult Iperf documentation for optimized settings. It provides crucial insights into throughput limitations with particular emphasis on the implications of using a small TCP window size.
