Bluetooth: Throughput
#####################
The ISO Broadcast Benchmark sample measures and report packet loss and sync loss
of an ISO broadcaster against one or more ISO broadcast receivers.
Overview
********
The sample transmits data from the *broadcaster* to the
*receiver* (multiple receivers may be used with no effect on the test)
and measures the quality of the sync.
The application is used as both a broadcaster and a receiver, and the mode
can easily be changed.
Requirements
************
* BlueZ running on the host, or
* A board with Bluetooth Low Energy 5.2 support
* A Bluetooth Controller and board that supports setting
CONFIG_BT_CTLR_ADV_ISO=y
* A remote board running the same sample as the reversed role that supports
setting CONFIG_BT_CTLR_SYNC_ISO
Building and running
********************
This sample can be found under
:zephyr_file:`samples/bluetooth/iso_broadcast_benchmark` in the Zephyr tree.
See :ref:`bluetooth samples section <bluetooth-samples>` for details.
Testing
=======
After programming the sample to both boards, test it by performing the following
steps:
1. Connect to both boards with a terminal emulator (for example, PuTTY or
minicom).
#. Reset both boards.
#. In one of the terminal emulators, type "r" to start the application on the
connected board in the receiver role.
#. In the other terminal emulator, type "b" to start the application in the
broadcaster role.
#. Optionally modify the broadcasting settings.
#. Observe that the receiver synchronizes to the broadcaster.
#. Observe the receive statistics on the receiver(s).
Sample output
==============
The receiver will output statistics for overall (since boot), current sync
(since the BIG was synced) and latest 1000 received packets::

The broadcaster will ask if any changes to the current settings are wanted.
If y/Y is chosen, then it will create a prompt to enter changes to the settings,
otherwise continue with the current settings. The broadcaster will then start
the BIG and output the current counter (since the BIG was created)::
