+Description: Internet Protocol bandwidth measuring tool
+ Iperf is a modern alternative for measuring TCP and UDP bandwidth performance,
+ allowing the tuning of various parameters and characteristics.
+ .
+ Features:
+ * Measure bandwidth, packet loss, delay jitter
+ * Report MSS/MTU size and observed read sizes.
+ * Support for TCP window size via socket buffers.
+ * Multi-threaded. Client and server can have multiple simultaneous
+ connections.
+ * Client can create UDP streams of specified bandwidth.
+ * Multicast and IPv6 capable.
+ * Options can be specified with K (kilo-) and M (mega-) suffices.
+ * Can run for specified time, rather than a set amount of data to transfer.
+ * Picks the best units for the size of data being reported.
+ * Server handles multiple connections.
+ * Print periodic, intermediate bandwidth, jitter, and loss reports at
+ specified intervals.
+ * Server can be run as a daemon.
+ * Use representative streams to test out how link layer compression affects
+ your achievable bandwidth.
