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 7 Linux, FreeBSD
|
|
10, and MacOS 10.12. 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 <http://www.es.net/>`_ /
|
|
`Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory <http://www.lbl.gov/>`_. It
|
|
is released under a three-clause BSD license.
