iperf3 -c 192.168.1.10 -u -b 100m

Test UDP throughput at a fixed bitrate

The -u flag switches to UDP, where iperf3 sends at exactly the rate given by -b 100m, one hundred megabits per second, and reports how much the receiver actually got. Packet loss shows up as gaps between the sent and received rates. This models real-time traffic such as VoIP or video better than TCP.
