### Iperf3
55
## What is it?
6+
Iperf3 is a tool used to measure network performance between two devices.
7+
It allows you to test how much data can be transmitted across a data link.
68

7-
## Files
9+
Iperf3 operates using a client/server model where one device operates as the server and a second device operates as a client.
10+
11+
## Test Types
12+
13+
# TCP
14+
TCP tests measure reliable throughput, where all packets must be acknowledged (Sent and Received).
15+
This test shows how much data can be transferred consistently without any error.
16+
17+
# UDP
18+
UDP tests measure maximum achievable throughput, where Iperf3 tries to push as much data as it can without any reliability gurantees.
19+
This test allows you to observe packet loss, jitter, and latency variation, which is important for time-sensitive applications (eg. operating a robot with live video feed remotely).
20+
21+
### Requirements
22+
## Software
23+
- A Linux environment such as Fedora Server
24+
- Podman for container deployment
25+
- Git to clone repositories
26+
27+
## Hardware
28+
- Lattepanda 3 Delta
29+
- Power Source (charger or battery)

### Procedures
32+
## Background
33+
Two lattepanda 3 Delta are used fo testing with Iperf3.

35+
## Steps
36+
# Installing Fedora Server
37+
1. For both Lattepanda 3 Deltas, [Fedora Server 43](https://fedoraproject.org/server/download) was flashed via usb network install.
