+From the website: iPerf3 is a tool for active measurements of the
+maximum achievable bandwidth on IP networks. It supports tuning of
+various parameters related to timing, buffers and protocols (TCP, UDP,
+SCTP with IPv4 and IPv6). For each test it reports the bandwidth, loss,
+and other parameters.
+
+This is a new implementation that shares no code with the original
+iPerf and also is not backwards compatible. iPerf was orginally
+developed by NLANR/DAST. iPerf3 is principally developed by ESnet /
+Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
