Thanks for the note. There's actually a two year old Debian bug to get netperf moved out of non-free, but unfortunately this has not happened :(
@tohojo should we just close this ticket? The Debian non-free*
portion was only mentioned because I had to figure out how to install netperf on my system. BTW, the Debian iperf
version 2 binary doesn't work from the Debian distro because it does not support the iperf --enhancedreports
flag.

Actually, iperf2 deprecated the --enhancedreports flag and replaced it with --enhanced in 2.0.14.a. The current Flent version checks for this.
I have made many changes to the iperf2 runner; however, I have yet to submit a pull request because I made some changes that aren't fit for upstream. At some point, I will create a pull request that will update the iperf2 runner with more functionality.
FYI, under debian bookworm, I had to configure
/etc/apt/sources.list
withnon-free*
in order to installnetperf
...If we could update the README, that would be awesome... if not, at least this ticket is a pointer.
Thanks for a great network test tool!
