iperf
The iperf program measures networking throughput between two systems. The program can be
run on the target in either client or server mode. If client mode is chosen, iperf must first be run in
server mode on the second system. With server mode, iperf must first be started on the target,
and then run in client mode on the second system.
Command Syntax:
Server Mode: iperf -s
Client Mode: iperf -c <server_ip>
