Determine the throughput between 2 hosts from the bandwidth?

I'm using mininet and I must observe the throughput between two hosts by using iperf.

mininet> iperf h1 h3
*** Iperf: testing TCP bandwidth between h1 and h3 
*** Results: ['14.3 Mbits/sec', '20.3 Mbits/sec']

What I don't understand is how to determine the actual throughput because here I am given bandwidth as the result.

Here is how I set up my topology:

sudo mn --topo linear,5 --link tc,bw=20,delay=50ms

How can I get the throughput from the result above?

Same thing. What you're given is the TCP throughput. – user207421 Oct 05 '15 at 21:21
is it '14.3 Mbits/sec' or '20.3 Mbits/sec? – coder4lyf Oct 05 '15 at 21:41
