I'm working with a custom Linux based board. We have 2 wifi interfaces. To measure data rates going through them I wrote a simple program running in user space. Essentially it is reading



/sys/class/net/wlan0/statistics/rx_bytes
/sys/class/net/wlan0/statistics/tx_bytes
/sys/class/net/wlan1/statistics/rx_bytes
/sys/class/net/wlan1/statistics/tx_bytes


once a second (each file is read in a separate thread), takes a difference from the previous value and calculates the data rate.



To test is I ran an iperf. Here is where I'm confused. For some reason my iperf data rate is much lower (roughly by 5 to 8 Mbps. I'm sending data at 140 Mbps with iperf). I looked through the code for my application and just can't find a fault with it (thought it is very possible I'm making a mistake somewhere). Is there something about iperf I don't know? Why am I seeing such a difference?
