iPerf3 is a tool for active measurements of the maximum achievable bandwidth on IP networks. It supports tuning of various parameters related to timing, buffers and protocols (TCP, UDP, SCTP with IPv4 and IPv6). For each test it reports the bandwidth, loss, and other parameters.

Features of iPerf:

• iPerf provides a powerful tool for measuring network bandwidth and performance between two endpoints.
• It supports both TCP and UDP tests, allowing for comprehensive analysis of network throughput and latency.
• The tool offers flexibility with various parameters for testing, including multiple streams and bandwidth limits.
• iPerf is ideal for diagnosing network issues, verifying network speeds, and assessing the impact of network changes.

To start iPerf as a server: :
$ /usr/local/bin/iperf3 -s

To run iPerf as a client and connect to a server: :
$ /usr/local/bin/iperf3 -c "your_ip"
