Hi there! iperf3 works over pretty much any underlying link technology, in fact it's basically unaware of what links make up the IP routing path between the client and server. People have run iperf3 on everything from ISDN to 100G Ethernet. Although iperf3 doesn't directly measure the metrics you listed, you can definitely use it as a traffic generator, with other tools measuring the error rates, etc. Basically, set up two computers connected by the 10GE link you want to measure, and use iperf3 to send either TCP or UDP test traffic as appropriate. Any other specifics will depend on what exactly you want to measure, and under what circumstances.

thanks for your answer , so if i installed it on server which is connecting to my network where we have many routers , we can use it as traffic generator and looking at client counters we can see errors
