Test network speed between Raspberry Pi using iPerf3

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 post show how to run iPerf3 on two Raspberry Pi to check the network speed between.

On both Raspberry Pi, install iPerf3 by entering command in Terminal:

$ sudo apt install iperf3
After installed.

In the service side, enter the command:
$ iperf3 -s
In the client side, enter command:
$ iperf3 -c <server ip>
