Description
Hi! I'm trying to run this in TrueNAS to compare how well my two ConnectX-6 25Gb links work from my Linux (Debian) NAS to Windows. I would like to remove SMB from the equation as at these speeds, you're hitting drive limits, and I wanna remove as many variables as possible.
Thing is, I can't build binaries on TrueNAS (no make or cmake commands), and I'm not a Linux developer either. I would assume most users of iperf3 aren't Linux developers either. My point is, I have a number of years with these OSes, and I'm blocked because there aren't any precompiled binaries.
I'm back to iperf3 at this point. If ntttcp is the tool Microsoft recommends over iperf3, I hope you folks'll make the experience as easy as it is to run the ntttcp executable in Windows! :)
