The invention discloses a method for rapid measurement of the performance of a network card under the Linux, and relates to the technology of
network performance tests. The method includes: executing commands uname-a, ethtool, and ifcongig under the linux
operating system, grabbing detailed information of kernel version and the network card of the Linux
system, installing a drive, configuring IPs of network interfaces, and restarting the network; connecting the network card and a corresponding interface of a network tester, opening the automatic forwarding function of the
network interface, and closing the firewall; and setting a corresponding
network interface at a terminal of the network tester, setting test parameters of the network card according to the RFC2544 network
interconnection equipment performance test standard, and conducting rapid performance tests of the network card. According to the method, the complexity of the conventional network card test method is changed, the rapid tests in complete accordance with the RFC2544 network
interconnection equipment performance test standard can be realized, the test time is saved, and the test results are more comprehensive and accurate.
