Measuring Performance With iperf3

Iperf vs iperf
One of the biggest mistakes I see out there when I observe analysts conducting performance tests is that they get paralyzed with way too much detail. Then they feel so overwhelmed that they don’t test.
I say ‘Just start measuring’. If you see an anomaly or something out of place, then start digging in and documenting. For example, if I thought my Wifi performance was terrible, I would look into my WiFi details and access point configuration like channel selection, channel width, etc..
I would say that about 75% of the time clients do not have a baseline, trace files or current documentation.
In this example I am comparing iPerf3 on various devices and network topologies to illustrate that the results will always be different.
