Bruce A. Mah 14741dcbb4 First pass at new iperf3 documentation, implemented in reStructuredText.
Building and deploying the documentation requires some infrastructure
that's not part of this tree.

iperf3
======
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. These include, for example, a zero-copy mode and
optional JSON output. Note that iperf3 is *not* backwards compatible
with the original iperf.
Primary development for iperf3 takes place on CentOS Linux, FreeBSD,
and MacOS X. At this time, these are the only officially supported
platforms, however there have been some reports of success with
OpenBSD, Android, and other Linux distributions.
iperf3 is principally developed by ESnet / Lawrence Berkleley National
Laboratory. It is released under a three-clause BSD license.
The iperf3 project is hosted on GitHub at:

tracker.
