-===== -. [CO2] Implementing the Applications and Tools =====
-In order to describe and analyze the basic steps for installing and using the tools and client/server applications, we need to look carefully to these 4 applications: iperf, flent, VLC, HTTP.
-Let's start with the application iperf:
+The two routers allocate IP addresses using DHCP. In order to facilitate the usage of the platform, fixed allocations are configured for the end hosts. This is configured in ''/etc/config/dhcp'' on each router as in the following.
-- To activate iperf3:
+<file /etc/config/dhcp>
-	    * On the server side: iperf3 -s
+config dhcp 'lan'
-	    * On the client side: iperf3 -c 192.168.200.192
+        option interface 'lan'
+        option start '100'
+        option limit '150'
+        option leasetime '12h'
+        option dhcpv6 'server'
+        option ra 'server'
+config host
+        option name 'pi2'
+        option mac 'b8:27:eb:0f:f8:95'
+        option ip '192.168.200.192'
+config host
+        option name 'pi3'
+        option mac 'b8:27:eb:20:aa:54'
+        option ip '192.168.200.193'
+</file>
+Finally, we verify the routing and addressing on the Raspberry Pi devices using ''ifconfig'' (or ''ip addr show'') and ''ip route'' commands.
+<code bash>
+pi@raspberrypi:~ $ ifconfig
+eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr b8:27:eb:0f:f8:95

-- To visualize UDP trafic with a specific bandwidth:
+In order to describe and analyze the basic steps for installing and using the tools and client/server applications, we need to look carefully to these four applications: iperf, flent, VLC, HTTP.
-	    * On the client side: iperf3 -c 192.168.200.192 -u -b 2M
+==== -. iperf tool ====
-Here we set the bandwidth with UDP to 2Mbit/s.
-Note that by default ,UDP sets the bandwidth to 1Mbit/s
-- To extend the transmission time(second) as well as the number packets sent:
+Let us start with the application iperf. In the following, we present a short tutorial on the main functions of the perf tool.
-	    * On the Client side: iperf3 -c 192.168.200.192 -t 15
-Note that  by default, iperf3 sets the time to 10 seconds
-- To reverse mode(server sends, client receives):
+  * To launch iperf3:
-	    * On the Client side: iper3 -c 192.168.200.192 -R
+    * On the server side: ''iperf3 -s''
+    * On the client side: ''iperf3 -c 192.168.200.192'', where 192.168.200.192is the IP address of the server.
-- To end multiple flows:
+  * By default, the trafic sent by iperf uses TCP. In order to send UDP trafic with a specific bandwidth:
-	    * On the Client side: iper3 -c 192.168.200.192 -P 2 -t 60
+    * On the client side: iperf3 -c 192.168.200.192 -u -b 2M
-Here we are sending 2 flows in 1 min(60 seconds)
+Here we set the bandwidth with UDP to 2Mbit/s. Note that by default, UDP sets the bandwidth to 1Mbit/s.
-Note that we need to extend more the tx time in order to have similar throughput for the 2 flows so that we don't consider it as a fairness issue.
-Let's analyze flent application:
+  * To extend the transmission time(second) as well as the number packets sent:
-            * On the Server side: netserver &
+     * On the Client side: ''iperf3 -c 192.168.200.192 -t 15''
--To visualize one TCP stream:
-            * On the Client side:  flent tcp_upload -p totals -l 60 -H 192.168.200.192 -t title2 -o test2.png
--To visualize 12 TCP streams:
-            * On the Client side:  flent tcp_12up -p totals -l 60 -H 192.168.200.192 -t title3 -o test3.png
+Note that by default, iperf3 sets the time to 10 seconds.
+  * To use reverse mode (server sends the trafic and client receives):
+    * On the Client side: ''iper3 -c 192.168.200.192 -R''
+  * To send multiple flows:
+    * On the Client side: ''iper3 -c 192.168.200.192 -P 2 -t 60''
+Here we are sending two flows for one minute (60 seconds). We note that the average rate for the two flows can be different. However, this is not a fairness issue: we only need to extend the transmit time in order to have similar throughput for the two flows.
+==== -. Flent Tool ====
+Let us now analyze [[ https://flent.org/index.html | Flent]] application. Flent is a network benchmarking tools which allows to easily run network tests.
+  * On the Server side: ''netserver &''
+  * To sent one TCP stream from the client to the server:
+    * On the Client side:  ''flent tcp_upload -p totals -l 60 -H 192.168.200.192 -t title2 -o test2.png''
+  * To send 12 TCP streams:
+     * On the Client side:  ''flent tcp_12up -p totals -l 60 -H 192.168.200.192 -t title3 -o test3.png''
