A Rust implementation of iperf3.

riperf3 is a high-performance network testing tool written in Rust, designed to replicate and enhance the functionality of the widely-used iperf3 tool. Leveraging Rust's safety and concurrency features, riperf3 aims to provide a reliable and efficient alternative for measuring network bandwidth and performance.

riperf3 is designed with the following objectives:

1. Feature Parity: Strive to match the feature set of iperf3, ensuring users have access to familiar functionalities.
2. Rust Best Practices: Implement riperf3 following Rust's development best practices, emphasizing safety, concurrency, and performance.
3. Command-Line Interface: Maintain the same CLI syntax as iperf3 to facilitate ease-of-use for existing iperf3 users.
4. Interoperability:
   • Integration: Support full integration with iperf3 clients and servers, regardless of their implementation language.
   • FFI Support: Provide a Foreign Function Interface (FFI) library that matches the API of libiperf, allowing riperf3 to serve as a complete drop-in replacement.

• Client and Server Modes: Operate in both client and server modes to initiate and receive network tests.
• UDP and TCP Support: Perform tests using either UDP or TCP protocols.
• Bandwidth Configuration: Customize bandwidth settings for UDP tests.
• Parallel Streams: Run multiple parallel client streams to simulate concurrent connections.
• Single Trial Mode: Execute the server in a single trial mode for specific testing scenarios.
• Debugging Options: Control verbosity with adjustable debug levels to aid in troubleshooting and performance tuning.
• Cross-Platform Compatibility: Run seamlessly on major operating systems including Linux, macOS, and Windows.
