The iperf series of tools perform active measurements to determine 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 measured throughput, loss, and other
|
|
|
|
|
parameters.

This version, sometimes referred to as iperf3, is a redesign of an
|
2014-04-07 22:02:32 +04:00
|
|
|
original version developed at NLANR / DAST. iperf3 is a new
|
2014-03-31 22:52:23 +04:00
|
|
|
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. At this time, these are the only officially
|
2014-04-07 22:02:32 +04:00
|
|
|
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/>`_ /
|
2014-10-01 01:06:39 +04:00
|
|
|
`Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory <http://www.lbl.gov/>`_. It
|
2014-04-07 22:02:32 +04:00
|
|
|
is released under a three-clause BSD license.

iperf2 is no longer being developed by its original maintainers.
|
|
|
|
|
However, beginning in 2014, another developer began fixing bugs and
|
|
|
|
|
enhancing functionality, and generating releases of iperf2. Both
|
|
|
|
|
projects (as of late 2017) are currently being developed actively, but
|
|
|
|
|
independently. More information can be found in the :ref:`faq`.
