Note that ESnet does not distribute binary packages of iperf3. All of
|
|
|
|
|
the packages listed in this section are provided by third parties, who
|
|
|
|
|
are solely responsible for their contents. This is an incomplete list
|
|
|
|
|
of binary packages:

|
|
19 and 20 and in Fedora EPEL 5, 6, and 7. iperf3 is included as a
|
2017-10-12 20:53:06 +03:00

Source Distributions
|
|
|
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Source distributions of iperf are available as compressed (gzip)
|
|
|
|
|
tarballs at:
|
|
|
|
|
|
2018-06-23 00:09:01 +03:00
|
|
|
https://downloads.es.net/pub/iperf/
|
2014-03-31 22:52:23 +04:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Note:** Due to a software packaging error, the 3.0.2 release
|
|
|
|
|
tarball was not compressed, even though its filename had a ``.tar.gz``
|
|
|
|
|
suffix.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2014-04-10 01:19:39 +04:00
|
|
|
**Note:** GitHub, which currently hosts the iperf3 project, supports
|
|
|
|
|
a "Releases" feature, which can automatically generate ``.zip`` or ``.tar.gz``
|
|
|
|
|
archives, on demand, from tags in the iperf3 source tree. These tags are
|
|
|
|
|
created during the release engineering process to mark the exact
|
|
|
|
|
version of files making up a release.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In theory, the ``.tar.gz`` files produced by GitHub contain the same
|
|
|
|
|
contents as what are in the official tarballs, note that the tarballs
|
|
|
|
|
themselves will be different due to internal timestamps or other
|
|
|
|
|
metadata. Therefore these files will *not* match the published SHA256
|
|
|
|
|
checksums and no guarantees can be made about the integrity of the
|
|
|
|
|
files. The authors of iperf3 always recommend downloading source
|
|
|
|
|
distributions from the the directory above (or a mirror site), and
|
|
|
|
|
verifying the SHA256 checksums before using them for any purpose, to
|
|
|
|
|
ensure the files have not been tampered with.

Source Code Repository
|
|
|
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The iperf3 project is hosted on GitHub at:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/esnet/iperf
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The iperf3 source code repository can be checked out directly from
|
|
|
|
|
GitHub using:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``git clone https://github.com/esnet/iperf.git``
|
|
|
|
|
|
2017-06-06 01:27:23 +03:00
|
|
|
Primary development for iperf3 takes place on CentOS 7 Linux, FreeBSD 11,
|
|
|
|
|
and macOS 10.12. At this time, these are the only officially supported
|
2014-03-31 22:52:23 +04:00
|
|
|
platforms, however there have been some reports of success with
|
2017-06-06 01:27:23 +03:00
|
|
|
NetBSD, OpenBSD, Windows, Solaris, Android, and iOS.
