A tutorial on how to download, install, and use IPerf3.
How to use it, what it does, and why to use it.

Download iPerf3: https://iperf.fr/iperf-download.php
Or Linux Peeps: Apt-Get Install iperf3 / yum install iperf3

Dragging a File from A to B is not a network test, doing a speedtest.net run is not a network test, if you want a solid, true baseline of your actual network and its performance this is an easy way to do it.

It will clearly let you know if you have an issue at the network level before you start worrying about it being your internet, your hard disks, or anything else.

I have more videos coming for IOMeter to test further, as well as disks, and when we upgrade to 10gb we want to make sure we are getting our full speeds, so this is exactly how we are going to do it!
