Unable to start netperf server

rated 0 times [ 9] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 15440 / 1 Year ago, sat, march 25, 2023, 4:38:41

I am working on Ubuntu 12.10 and I just installed netperf by apt-get install netperf. Then I tried to start netperf server by running netserver and I got Unable to start netserver with 'IN(6)ADDR_ANY' port '12865' and family AF_UNSPEC

Can anybody help me? I didn't find anything about it in netperf FAQ.

While netserver's behavior seems to be somewhat unusual on Ubuntu, I think that you may find the netserver service to be already running.

If you run a ps -ef | grep netserver, you may find the process already running and you should be able to perform netperf queries against it.

Upon installing netperf on my local machine, I was able to run netperf with several flags set and get results back.
