Do we need a new iperf3 port, or should we update the existing iperf port to version 3? In other words, is there any reason why anyone would still want to use iperf version 2 if we had version 3 available?

From what I gather, there should be no reason to keep iperf2 around

New iperf3 is at https://github.com/esnet/iperf

comment:5 Changed 9 years ago by aque (Allan Que)

I suggest leaving both since iperf3 does not maintain backward compatibility. Also, both iperf2 and iperf3 connect only to servers running the same branch.

I am attaching the Portfile I built for iperf3. Since this is only the second port I am confident enough to submit, a review would be helpful.

Let's make this an update of the existing portfile based on the comments.

Updated the original portfile as suggested.

Sorry, I'm new at this. This port should be different from iperf2. The author stated that he is not maintaining backwards compatibility with the previous version, and that this is a new implementation.

To maintain a version with backward compatibility with other nodes, would make my own iperf2 port in my private repository. I believe this really should be a new port as it implements a different testing protocol.

Was hoping to inject some life into this port. I'd like to request that iperf3 be formally added to the main repo... My vote goes to adding it as a new port like brew did - I do still need both iperf (2.0.5) and iperf3 (3.0.11), on at least a semi-regular basis.

comment:19 Changed 8 years ago by smith.kennedy+macports@…

I also agree that iperf3 should be its own discrete port, since it is not backwards compatible with iperf2.

I'm not well versed in the "behind the scenes" lifecycle of creating a port. What is the status of the work on this? Doing a "port search iperf" I still only find the old "iperf" port for version 2.0.5:

$ port search iperf
iperf @2.0.5 (net)
    A tool to measure maximum TCP and UDP bandwidth

What remains to be done to make this available to conventional users?

It needs to be committed to MacPorts subversion repository. Will test and commit if all is well. This seems to just have been overlooked by folks with commit authorization. Sorry.

Looks good. Committed in r149008. I updated iperf3-devel to upstream git master as of 20160520. Thanks for the submission and sorry for the delay.
