=== Installation ===
−
You need to activate the [[Dag]] reposity before installing this contrib.<br />
     −
see [[dag|dag repository]] <br />
+
Install direct from upstream repos
 +
 
 +
yum install iperf3
 +
 
 +
{{Note box| Some distros carry both iperf v2 and iperf3}}
 +
 
 +
=== Usage ===
 +
 
 +
To use iperf you need  a server and a client
 +
 
 +
On the 'server' run
 +
 
 +
iperf3 -s
 +
 
 +
On the client run:
 +
 
 +
iperf3 -c ip.of.iperf.server
 +
 
 +
Output:
 +

iperf Done.
 +
</pre>
 +
 
 +
Note that by default iperf3 uses port 5201.
 +
 
 +
We can change that:
 +
 
 +
iperf3 -p 11111 -s
 +
 
 +
iperf3 -p 11111 -c ip.of.iperf.server
 +
 
 +
{{Note box|This will be OK on your local LAN but you will need to modify firewalls to use outside your LAN which is beyond the scope of this HowTo.}}
 +
 
 +
Be very careful to note the differences between MBs and Mbs particularly when checking your ISP bandwidth.
 +
 
 +
8 Mbs = 1 MBs
 +
 
 +
A Gigabit network is likely to have around 950Mbits/sec

This contrib can be found in the [http://wiki.contribs.org/Dag Dag] repository.
+
===Uninstall===
−
To install this contrib get shell access as root user and issue the following command:
