Iperf - bandwidth measuring tools

iPerf is a very useful tool to measure network performance. It requires a server host (receiving traffic) and a client host (sending traffic) for measurement.

Example:

UDP Server (5001/udp):
iperf -s -u -i 1

UDP Client pumping 80Mbps traffic to server 1.2.3.4:
iperf -c 1.2.3.4 -u -b 80m -i 1
