iPerf - The ultimate speed test tool for TCP, UDP and SCTPTest the limits of your network + Internet neutrality test

What is iPerf / iPerf3 ?

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. This is a new implementation that shares no code with the original iPerf and also is not backwards compatible. iPerf was orginally developed by NLANR/DAST. iPerf3 is principally developed by ESnet / Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. It is released under a three-clause BSD license.

Acknowledgements for iPerf1: Thanks to Mark Gates (NLANR), Alex Warshavsky (NLANR) and Justin Pietsch (University of Washington) who were responsible for the 1.1.x releases of Iperf. For iPerf 1.7, we would like to thank Bill Cerveny (Internet2), Micheal Lambert (PSC), Dale Finkelson (UNL) and Matthew Zekauskas (Internet2) for help in getting access to IPv6 networks / machines. Special thanks to Matthew Zekauskas (Internet2) for helping out in the FreeBSD implementation. Also, thanks to Kraemer Oliver (Sony) for providing an independent implementation of IPv6 version of Iperf, which provided a useful comparison for testing our features.

Thanks to ESnet for re-rolling iperf from the ground up. iPerf3 is a killer piece of software.
