iperf is a tool for active measurements of the maximum achievable bandwidth on
|
||
|
|
IP networks. It supports tuning of various parameters related to timing,
|
||
|
|
protocols, and buffers. For each test it reports the bandwidth, loss, and other
|
||
|
|
parameters.

This version, sometimes referred to as iperf3, is a redesign of an original
|
||
|
|
version developed at NLANR / DAST. iperf3 is a new implementation from scratch,
|
||
|
|
with the goal of a smaller, simpler code base, and a library version of the
|
||
|
|
functionality that can be used in other programs. iperf3 also incorporates a
|
||
|
|
number of features found in other tools such as nuttcp and netperf, but were
|
||
|
|
missing from the original iperf. Note that iperf3 is not backwards compatible
|
||
|
|
with the original iperf.
