Custom transmit pattern #39

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Explaination of new feature:
Is there any way to implement a feature where iperf loops a 
pattern given in a file rather than just sending the file content once, as in 
Iperf2 with the "-F" option.

Justification of new feature
I'm working with systems that are able to compress packets and I believe this 
could be a useful feature of Iperf.

The current implementation uses random data.  However I can see the utility of 
being able to define a specific pattern.  This seems like a useful feature, but 
probably won't go in until 3.1.

Now that we have the -F flag to send a specified file, this change may no 
longer be needed.  However there is one difference - -F stops the test after a 
single run through the file, while this one would rewind the file and send it 
again until the regular termination conditions are met.

since the -F option takes care of this, closing this. Let us know if you 
disagree.
