Isn't that what the -R flag does?

Its probably worth exploring various Firewall/NAT traversal options in the
future.

-R does enable "reverse" mode transfers from a server to a client. However it
doesn't do anything with respect to opening up firewall ports or doing port
forwarding on NAT boxes, which is the other part of the enhancement request.
Without making some fairly major changes to iperf3's use of the network (in
particular, that would probably involve multiplexing control and data transfer
on the same TCP connection, and I don't have a solution at all for UDP), I
don't think we can do this.
I know there's are various heuristic ways of doing NAT traversal by injecting
carefully crafted packets into the network, but I can't picture these fitting
into iperf3 into any workable way.
I'm going to mark this as WontFix at this point, but it can be reopened if
there is high demand and if we figure out a practical way to do it.

Could you explain why iperf cannot use existing connection initiated from
client behind NAT to test both upload and download? I don't understand what is
the reason to open new UDP or TCP connection in downlink test (when using -d or
-r option).
