Step 2: Testing Iperf3

For testing, we need to have two systems. One system will act as a server, while the other will act as a client. Of course, you can have both the server and the client on the same machine. The testing that simulated here use VM1 free5gc(192.168.1.222) as a server and VM2(192.168.1.212) UE as a client

Run this comment for server side:

iperf3 -s

server start to LISTEN client connection

Run this following comment to client side

iperf3 -c 192.168.1.222

Server side output

Client Side output
