This is a nice way to detect network bottlenecks at Bacula machines transferences. You must have the iperf (Linux and Windows) application in both sides (e.g.: client & storage).
yum install iperf
or
apt-get install iperf
The test:
1. In one of the machines, normally the one that receives connections (storage daemon), start iperf in server mode:
iperf -s
2. In the other machine, start the connection test to the prior machine (example IP address):
iperf -c 192.168.0.10
3. The output should be printed in a few secconds:
------------------------------------------------------------
Client connecting to localhost, TCP port 5001
TCP window size: 2.50 MByte (default)
------------------------------------------------------------
[ 3] local 127.0.0.1 port 56882 connected with 192.168.0.10 port 5001
