Happy Halloween!  ESnet (Energy Sciences Network) proudly announces
the availability of iperf 3.3.  Compared to the prior release (3.2,
announced approximately four months ago), this release contains the
same features, but fixes minor bugs in existing functionality.

iperf 3.3 should be fully backward-compatible with prior iperf3
releases, that is, iperf 3.3 clients and servers should interoperate
correctly with all 3.2, 3.1, and 3.0 clients and servers.  Note
however that users running iperf 3.3 with the bwctl utility (perhaps
as a part of a perfSONAR 3.x installation) need to ensure they are
using bwctl version 1.6.3 or newer.

iperf3 is a tool for measuring the maximum TCP, UDP, and SCTP throughput
along a path, allowing for the tuning of various parameters and
reporting measurements such as throughput, jitter, and datagram packet
loss.  It is fully supported on Linux, FreeBSD, and macOS.  It may
run on other platforms as well, although it has not received the same
attention and testing.  Note that iperf3 is not compatible with, and
will not interoperate with, version 2 or earlier of iperf.

The source code for iperf 3.3 is available at:
