Iperf是一个网络性能测试工具,主要应用于LINUX服务器下面。可以测量最大TCP和UDP带宽，具有多种参数和特性，可以记录带宽，延迟抖动和数据包丢失，最大组和MTU等统计信息，通过这些信息可以发现网络问题，检查网络质量，定位网络瓶颈。Iperf在linux和windows平台均有二进制版本供*使用。
对于需要大量网络交互的产品，例如Greenplum，网络性能指标是一个很重要的指标。
安装在需要测试网络的两台主机上。

NAME
iperf3 - perform network throughput tests
SYNOPSIS
iperf3 -s [ options ]
iperf3 -c server [ options ]
DESCRIPTION
iperf3 is a tool for performing network throughput measurements. It can test either TCP or UDP throughput. To perform an iperf3 test the user must establish both a server and a client.
GENERAL OPTIONS
-p, --port n
set server port to listen on/connect to to n (default 5201)
-f, --format
[kmKM] format to report: Kbits, Mbits, KBytes, MBytes
-i, --interval n
pause n seconds between periodic bandwidth reports; default is 1, use 0 to disable
-F, --file name
client-side: read from the file and write to the network, instead of using random data; server-side: read from the network and write to the file, instead of throwing the data away
-A, --affinity n/n,m
Set the CPU affinity, if possible (Linux and FreeBSD only). On both the client and server you can set the local affinity by using the n form of this argument (where n is a CPU number). In addition,
on the client side you can override the server’s affinity for just that one test, using the n,m form of argument. Note that when using this feature, a process will only be bound to a single CPU (as
opposed to a set containing potentialy multiple CPUs).
-B, --bind host
bind to a specific interface
-V, --verbose
give more detailed output
-J, --json
output in JSON format
--logfile file
send output to a log file.
-d, --debug
emit debugging output. Primarily (perhaps exclusively) of use to developers.
-v, --version
show version information and quit
-h, --help
show a help synopsis
SERVER SPECIFIC OPTIONS
-s, --server
run in server mode
-D, --daemon
run the server in background as a daemon
-I, --pidfile file
write a file with the process ID, most useful when running as a daemon.
-1, --one-off
handle one client connection, then exit.
CLIENT SPECIFIC OPTIONS
-c, --client host
run in client mode, connecting to the specified server
--sctp use SCTP rather than TCP (FreeBSD and Linux)
-u, --udp
use UDP rather than TCP
-b, --bandwidth n[KM]
set target bandwidth to n bits/sec (default 1 Mbit/sec for UDP, unlimited for TCP). If there are multiple streams (-P flag), the bandwidth limit is applied separately to each stream. You can also
add a ’/’ and a number to the bandwidth specifier. This is called "burst mode". It will send the given number of packets without pausing, even if that temporarily exceeds the specified bandwidth
limit. Setting the target bandwidth to 0 will disable bandwidth limits (particularly useful for UDP tests).
-t, --time n
time in seconds to transmit for (default 10 secs)
-n, --bytes n[KM]
number of bytes to transmit (instead of -t)
-k, --blockcount n[KM]
number of blocks (packets) to transmit (instead of -t or -n)
-l, --length n[KM]
length of buffer to read or write (default 128 KB for TCP, 8KB for UDP)
--cport port
bind data streams to a specific client port (for TCP and UDP only, default is to use an ephemeral port)
-P, --parallel n
number of parallel client streams to run
-R, --reverse
run in reverse mode (server sends, client receives)
-w, --window n[KM]
window size / socket buffer size (this gets sent to the server and used on that side too)
-M, --set-mss n
set TCP/SCTP maximum segment size (MTU - 40 bytes)
-N, --no-delay
set TCP/SCTP no delay, disabling Nagle’s Algorithm
-4, --version4
only use IPv4
-6, --version6
only use IPv6
-S, --tos n
set the IP ’type of service’
-L, --flowlabel n
set the IPv6 flow label (currently only supported on Linux)
-X, --xbind name
Bind SCTP associations to a specific subset of links using sctp_bindx(3). The --B flag will be ignored if this flag is specified. Normally SCTP will include the protocol addresses of all active
links on the local host when setting up an association. Specifying at least one --X name will disable this behaviour. This flag must be specified for each link to be included in the association, and
is supported for both iperf servers and clients (the latter are supported by passing the first --X argument to bind(2)). Hostnames are accepted as arguments and are resolved using getaddrinfo(3).
If the --4 or --6 flags are specified, names which do not resolve to addresses within the specified protocol family will be ignored.
--nstreams n
Set number of SCTP streams.
-Z, --zerocopy
Use a "zero copy" method of sending data, such as sendfile(2), instead of the usual write(2).
-O, --omit n
Omit the first n seconds of the test, to skip past the TCP slow-start period.
-T, --title str
Prefix every output line with this string.
-C, --congestion algo
Set the congestion control algorithm (Linux and FreeBSD only). An older --linux-congestion synonym for this flag is accepted but is deprecated.
--get-server-output
Get the output from the server. The output format is determined by the server (in particular, if the server was invoked with the --json flag, the output will be in JSON format, otherwise it will be
in human-readable format). If the client is run with --json, the server output is included in a JSON object; otherwise it is appended at the bottom of the human-readable output.
