Ethernet performance tests

iperf3 server (on Target/Host):

$ ifconfig  (to get the IP address)
$ iperf3 -s

iperf3 client (on Host/Target):

# Run UDP test for 30 seconds
$ iperf3 -c <IP_ADDRESS_OF_IPERF_SERVER> -u -t 30 -P 2 -b 0
# Run TCP test for 30 seconds
$ iperf3 -c <IP_ADDRESS_OF_IPERF_SERVER> -t 30

Configuring static IP address

Edit /etc/network/interfaces and add:

auto eth0
    iface eth0 inet static
        address <address>
        netmask <netmask>
        gateway <gateway>

New settings will be effective after reboot
