Thanks. The testpoint package installs a large amount of dependencies. 
That seemed a bit over the top for a few throughput tests to run.

I have installed

# dnf install pscheduler-tool-nuttcp pscheduler-tool-iperf3

and opened tcp port 5201 in the firewall. That installed and started 
everything to run some throughput tests.

I think to quickly disable scheduler access from the outside again, I 
can rename /etc/httpd/conf.d/pscheduler-api-server.conf. The peschduler 
services don't hurt at the moment as the server is only for testing anyway.

Anyway, thanks for pointing me into the right direction, even though 
it's not the offically recommended way...
