Description
Hi,
It would be really useful to be able to specify an interface for tests when you have multiple interface systems, e.g. when using Ethr as a perfSONAR plugin and you have a server with a throughput, latency and management interface and you want Ethr on the throughput interface.
The alternative is messy host routes.
Thanks!
Tim

Research direction
The issue names no Ethr file, test, or entry point; start by locating the command-line handling for interface selection and compare it with iperf's -B behavior. Done means Ethr can select the requested interface for the described multi-interface tests without requiring host routes.
