lwip memory and full speed throughput test.
Dependencies: EthernetInterface mbed-rtos mbed
This project represents a throughtput test for the EthernetInterface, based on the lwIP library.
The purpose of this is to be able to make a comparison of full speed (Rx,Tx and Rx+Tx) and memory
between the EthernetInterface based on the lwIP and the one based on PicoTCP.
The benchmark consists of three parts:
- we are sending 1 Megabyte from the board to host
- we are waiting for the host to send us 1 Megabyte of data
- on the last part we are using a TCP Echo Server to send and receive back 1 Megabyte of data
we send/receive 1024 packets of 1024 bytes each and we measure how many bits per second we transmit and receive.
The result:
TX+RX Throughput: 4194304 bytes in 41 seconds (0.774) Mbits/s
Memory report
Current free memory : 22644 bytes
Maximum free memory : 24716 bytes
Minimum free memory : 22644 bytes
Average free memory : 22644 bytes
