This is iperf 2.2.2, a tool for measuring network throughput, latency and
responsiveness over TCP and UDP.
iperf 2 and iperf 3 are separate programs and DO NOT interoperate: use the
same one at both ends of a test.
Documentation:
man iperf (after make install), or man/iperf-manpage.html
doc/iperf2-user-manual.html -- user manual
doc/RELEASE_NOTES -- what changed in each release
https://iperf2.sourceforge.io
An Android client is also available, on Google Play and as an APK from
SourceForge. Its source is in android/; see android/README.md to build it.

Briefly:
Do one-time if needed:
dnf install gcc
dnf install gcc-c++
dnf install automake
dnf install make
then to build do:
./configure -- configure for your machine
make -- compile Iperf
make install -- install Iperf, if desired, from root
Some useful options and targets:
./configure --enable-professional -- professional edition, which adds
features such as UDP L4S
./configure --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 -- cross-compile, Windows in this case
make check -- run the test suite
make dist-all -- make the source tarball
and to use:
iperf -s (on machine "foo.bar.edu")
iperf -c foo.bar.edu (on some other machine)
iperf -h (for help screen)
iperf -v (for version information)
Finally, see INSTALL and doc/DESIGN_NOTES for a bit more
