Hey, all. We're trying to track down some UDP fragmentation issues, and I'm trying to fully grasp exactly what goes on. The tool I'm using is "iperf." My first confusion is that when I point iperf (client) to a host behind a floating IP, that simply doesn't work. Any ideas what the issue is, and how to get around it?

Next up is this that when I have to VMs talk to each other -- on the same subnet, using "iperf -c 172.23.244.169 -u -b 100m" -- I wind up with this:
[  3] Sent 85471 datagrams
[  3] WARNING: did not receive ack of last datagram after 10 tries.

When I go from physical machine to physical machine, it works great, even though a few datagrams are received out-of-order. But a flat-out missing packet does sound a bit like the issue I'm having.

-----------------------

Additionally, I'd really like a tool that would allow me to set packet size for UDP tests; I've poked around, but haven't really found anything. If anyone has a suggestion, I'm all ears.

Thanks!

-Ken
