Just use the following command to installed

rpm -ivh iperf.rpm

Now you will get bin file iperf

i) At server side

iperf -s   


ii) At client side

For increasing window size use following command

iperf -c 10.10.10.10 -w 40960

For finding throughput in both direction us following command

iperf -c 10.10.10.10 -r
