Description

It would be nice to have the possibility to do a simultaneous bidirectionnal test with iperf3.7+ specifically when using "single-ended" testing.

I'm currently using the single-ended feature but only get the troughput in one way as there is no scheduler on the other side to start a test.

What do you think?

@+!

Research direction

Start by tracing the single-ended testing entry point and its interaction with the scheduler and iperf3.7+. Determine how a simultaneous bidirectional test should be initiated when no scheduler runs on the remote side. Done means single-ended testing can report throughput in both directions using the requested iperf3 capability.
