Note that 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. The continuing iperf2 development
project can be found at https://sourceforge.net/projects/iperf2/.)

New options:
-V, --verbose more detailed output than before
-J, --json output in JSON format
-Z, --zerocopy use a 'zero copy' sendfile() method of sending data
-O, --omit N omit the first n seconds (to ignore slowstart)
-T, --title str prefix every output line with this string
-F, --file name xmit/recv the specified file
-A, --affinity n/n,m set CPU affinity (Linux and FreeBSD only)
-k, --blockcount #[KMG] number of blocks (packets) to transmit (instead
of -t or -n)
-L, --flowlabel set IPv6 flow label (Linux only)
Changed flags:
iperf3 contains a number of options and functions not present in
iperf2. In addition, some flags are changed from their iperf2
counterparts:
-C, --linux-congestion set congestion control algorithm (Linux only)
(-Z in iperf2)
--bidir bidirectional testing mode
(-d in iperf2)
Deprecated options:
Not planning to support these iperf2 flags. If you really miss these
options, please submit a request in the issue tracker:
Some iperf2 options are not available in iperf3:
-r, --tradeoff Do a bidirectional test individually
-T, --ttl time-to-live, for multicast (default 1)

iperf3 Release Notes
====================
iperf 3.8 2020-06-08
--------------------
* Notable user-visible changes
* Profiled libraries and binaries are no longer built by default
(#950).
* A minimal Dockerfile has been added (#824).
* A bug with burst mode and unlimited rate has been fixed (#898).
* Configuring with the --enable-static-bin flag will now cause
a statically-linked iperf3 binary to be built (#989).
* Configuring with the --without-sctp flag will now prevent SCTP
from being auto-detected (#1008). This flag allows building a
static binary (see above item) on a CentOS system with SCTP
installed, because no static SCTP libraries are available.
* Clock skew between the iperf3 client and server will no longer
skew the computation of jitter during UDP tests (#842 / #990).
* A possible buffer overflow in the authentication feature has been
fixed. This was only relevant when configuration authentication
using the libiperf3 API, and did not affect command-line usage.
Various other improvements and fixes in this area were also made
(#996).
* Notable developer-visible changes
* The embedded version of cJSON has been updated to 1.3.17 (#978).
* Some server authentication functions have been added to the API
(#911).
* API access has been added to the connection timeout parameter
(#1001).
* Tests for some authentication functions have been added.
* Various compiler errors and warnings have been fixed.
