To use iPerf in Link Master Logging (LML), you need to set up a compatible server. The first step of this process is to install iperf3.
If you are using ubuntu, install iperf3 using the command
      sudo apt install iperf3

To install manually,
  1. Download the source using either wget https://github.com/esnet/iperf/archive/refs/heads/master.zip or going to https://downloads.es.net/pub/iperf/, selecting the version and downloading the source code
  2. Unzip the downloaded file
  3. Build using ./configure; make; make install, See https://github.com/esnet/iperf for more information
  4. Check the version when the installation completes using iperf3 -v
Once iperf3 has been installed, configure the firewall by opening a port (for example port 5201). Then run using iperf3 -s -p 5201.
