Hello,

iperf is a good tool, but ...

Fr example the RFC 2544 throughput test does not allow any 
failed/missing/corrupted packed during the testing time.
In this case the data speed is to be reduced and the test to be executed 
again.
Also a throughput test is only one part of the RFC 2544.

regards
  Petric
