RE: specifiying a wireless interface

[Manish S M. <man...@ua...>]

Do you mean, you want to specifically bind iperf to the wireless
interface (your IP is say 192.168.0.3) and not the ethernet IP? 
 
If this is the case, there is a -B option on the client side which
allows you to specify specific network interface you want to use.
 
The client command should go some thing like this
 
iperf -c <server ip> -B 192.168.0.3 -i 1
 
The bind option would be similar for the server side too.

	The output interface is chosen according to your routing table.
Your
	routing holds a number of IP destination addresses subsets. For
each
	destination, the table gives the interface (and optionally
router)
	that will be used.
	
	The routing table is more or less cleverly/automatically
configured by
	the system when you bring up/down the interfaces but you can
modify it
	at will using the "route" command on Windows and "route" (or
better
	"ip route" on linux). You'll easily find plenty of documentation
about
	this.
	
	Be careful, you may have routing configurations where packets go
out
	from one interface and replies come in from another interface.
