+Iperf is a tool to measure IP bandwidth using UDP or TCP. It allows
+for tuning various parameters, and reports bandwidth, delay jitter,
+and packet loss. It supports IPv6 and multicast. Iperf was developed
+by NLANR/DAST as a modern alternative for measuring maximum TCP and UDP
+bandwidth performance. Iperf allows the tuning of various parameters and
+UDP characteristics. Iperf reports bandwidth, delay jitter, datagram loss.
