Iperf3 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 has a number of features found in other tools
|
|
such as nuttcp and netperf, but were missing from the original iperf.
|
|
These include, for example, a zero-copy mode and optional JSON output.
|
|
Note that iperf3 is NOT backwards compatible with the original iperf.
|
|
|
|
iperf3 is the standard approach for "iperf".
