I have installed iperf3 on my Linux machine and on my windows machine. Used iperf3 on Linux as server and windows as client. Getting only 37Mbits/sec. My router is gigabit. What seems to be the problem??? Please help

[howzaakash]

I wanted a window size perspective too. Btw good one.

Very useful, thank you so much! Do you know of any other tools like this for testing SNMP connections?

[bob]

So I would have to install iperf on the client pc & server ? Could I just install on client pc and not server ?
