Procedure
TCP
iperf3 -c <iperf_server> -p <iperf_control_port> -t 300 --logfile <device_under_test><Testcase_id>_<Edgeip>_<Traffic_type>.txt
where
• <iperf_server> is the IP address of an iperf3 server
• <iperf_control_port> is a port on the iperf server where an iperf3 process is listening
• <device_under_test> is the make and model of the device
