Hi all,

I measured jitter values for a LAN about 30 computers using iperf as
follows:-


iperf -c 192.168.0.210 -ub 100m

[ 3] 0.0-10.0 sec 1 datagrams received out-of-order


Now what I want to know is what are the acceptable values/limits/
ranges for Jitter ?

what is the unit for measuring jitter or what is meant by this ms is
it metre per second ?

ms = miliseconds.

Acceptable value for jitter? Depends... email doesn't really care,
ditto file transfer, web browsing etc. For voice over ip/video
conferencing and some streaming protocols jitter impacts on the buffer
sizes required and packetisation applied to the data - but 10's of
miliseconds isn't unheard of so your figures look fine -- as they
should on your LAN.


On your LAN you are below 1ms so that's more than acceptable.

Clearly, you don't understand what you're doing.
