| Summary: A tool to measure network performance | |
Iperf is a tool for active measurements of the maximum achievable bandwidth on IP networks. It supports tuning of various parameters related to timing, protocols, and buffers. For each test it reports the bandwidth, loss, and other parameters. This version, sometimes referred to as iperf3, is a redesign of an original version developed at NLANR/DAST. iperf3 is a new implementation from scratch, with the goal of a smaller, simpler code base, and a library version of the functionality that can be used in other programs. iperf3 also a number of features found in other tools such as nuttcp and netperf, but were missing from the original iperf. These include, for example, a zero-copy mode and optional JSON output. Note that iperf3 is NOT backwards compatible with the original iperf.

- update to 3.19.1:
* SECURITY NOTE: Thanks to Han Lee with Apple Information
Security for finding and reporting several memory errors
* off-by-one heap overflow has been fixed in authentication
(bsc#1247519, CVE-2025-54349, ESNET-SECADV-2025-0003)
* assert in authentication has been removed
(bsc#1247520, CVE-2025-54350, ESNET-SECADV-2025-0002)
* a buffer overflow in the --skip-rx-copy option for zerocopy
has been fixed (bsc#1247522, CVE-2025-54351,
ESNET-SECADV-2025-0001)
* Wed May 21 2025 Aeneas Jaißle <aj@ajaissle.de>
- update to 3.19
* iperf3 now supports the use of Multi-Path TCP (MPTCPv1) on Linux
with the use of the `-m` or `--mptcp` flag. (PR #1661)
* iperf3 now supports a `--cntl-ka` option to enable TCP keepalives
on the control connection. (#812, #835, PR #1423)
* iperf3 now supports the `MSG_TRUNC` receive option, specified by
the `--skip-rx-copy`. This theoretically improves the rated
throughput of tests at high bitrates by not delivering network
payload data to userspace. (#1678, PR #1717)
* A bug that caused the bitrate setting to be ignored when bursts
are set, has been fixed. (#1773, #1820, PR #1821, PR #1848)
* The congestion control protocol setting, if used, is now
properly reset between tests. (PR #1812)
* iperf3 now exits with a non-error 0 exit code if exiting via a
`SIGTERM`, `SIGHUP`, or `SIGINT`. (#1009, PR# 1829)
* The current behavior of iperf3 with respect to the `-n` and `-k`
options is now documented as correct. (#1768, #1775, #596, PR #1800)

- update to 3.18 (bsc#1234705, CVE-2024-53580):
* SECURITY NOTE: Thanks to Leonid Krolle Bi.Zone for
discovering a JSON type security vulnerability that caused a
segmentation fault in the server. (CVE-2024-53580)
This has now been fixed. (PR#1810)
* UDP packets per second now reports the correct number of
packets, by reporting NET_SOFTERROR if there's a EAGAIN/EINTR
errno if no data was sent (#1367/PR#1379).
* Several segmentation faults related to threading were fixed.
One where `pthread_cancel` was called on an improperly
initialized thread (#1801), another where threads were being
recycled (#1760/PR#1761), and another where threads were
improperly handling signals (#1750/PR#1752).
* A segmentation fault from calling `freeaddrinfo` with `NULL`
was fixed (PR#1755).
* Some JSON options were fixed, including checking the size for
`json_read` (PR#1709), but the size limit was removed for
received server output (PR#1779).
* A rcv-timeout error has been fixed. The Nread timeout was
hardcoded and timed out before the `--rcv-timeout` option
* There is no longer a limit on the omit time period
* Fixed an output crash under 32-bit big-endian systems
* An issue was fixed where CPU utilization was unexpectedly
high during limited baud rate tests. The `--pacing-timer`
option was removed, but it is still available in the library
* Add SCTP information to `--json` output and fixed compile
error when SCTP is not supported (#1731).
* `--fq-rate` was changed from a uint to a uint64 to allow
pacing above 32G. Not yet tested on big-endian systems

- Build with OpenSSL for key based authentication support
* Wed May 15 2024 Dirk Müller <dmueller@suse.com>
- update to 3.17.1 (bsc#1224262, CVE-2024-26306):
* BREAKING CHANGE: iperf3's authentication features, when used
with OpenSSL prior to 3.2.0, contain a vulnerability to a
side-channel timing attack. To address this flaw, a change
has been made to the padding applied to encrypted strings.
This change is not backwards compatible with older versions of
iperf3 (before 3.17). To restore
the older (vulnerable) behavior, and hence
backwards-compatibility, use the --use-pkcs1-padding flag. The
iperf3 team thanks Hubert Kario from RedHat for reporting this
issue and providing feedback on the fix. (CVE-2024-26306)(PR#1695)
* iperf3 no longer changes its current working directory in --daemon
mode. This results in more predictable behavior with relative
paths, in particular finding key and credential files for
authentication. (PR#1672)
* A new --json-stream option has been added to enable a streaming
output format, consisting of a series of JSON objects (for the
start of the test, each measurement interval, and the end of the
test) separated by newlines (#444, #923, #1098).
* UDP tests now work correctly between different endian hosts
* The --fq-rate parameter now works for --reverse tests
* The statistics reporting interval is now available in the --json
start test object (#1663).
* A negative time test duration is now properly flagged as an error
(IS#1662 / PR#1666).
* Wed Dec 27 2023 Dirk Müller <dmueller@suse.com>
- update to 3.16:
* Multiple test streams started with -P/--parallel will now be
serviced by different threads. This allows iperf3 to take
advantage of multiple CPU cores on modern processors, and will
generally result in significant throughput increases
* OpenSSL 3 is now detected at build time. If OpenSSL 3 is found,
various older, deprecated, APIs will not be used. iperf3 will
continue to work with OpenSSL 1.1.1. OpenSSL is used as a part
of the iperf3 authentication functionality
* The authorized users file used by the authentication
functionality is now checked for accessibility much earlier
during the program startup, as opposed to being checked near
the start of a test (Issue #1583, PR #1585).
* BREAKING CHANGE: iperf3 now requires pthreads and C atomic
variables to compile and run.
* Sat Sep 23 2023 Dirk Müller <dmueller@suse.com>
- update to 3.15 (bsc#1215662, ESNET-SECADV-2023-0002):

for input on the control connection has been fixed
(ESnet Software Security Advisory ESNET-SECADV-2023-0002)
* A bug that caused garbled output with UDP tests on 32-bit hosts
has been fixed (PR #1554, PR #1556). This bug was introduced in
iperf-3.14.
* A bug in counting UDP messages has been fixed
* Thu Jul 20 2023 Dirk Müller <dmueller@suse.com>
- update to 3.14 (bsc#1213430, CVE-2023-38403):
