What measurement can Iperf be used to verify?

The correct answer is A. throughput. Iperf is a widely used open-source network performance tool that generates TCP or UDP traffic between two endpoints to measure achievable throughput (bandwidth). It does not measure RF metrics like RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) or SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio), nor…

Explanation

Iperf is a widely used open-source network performance tool that generates TCP or UDP traffic between two endpoints to measure achievable throughput (bandwidth). It does not measure RF metrics like RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) or SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio), nor does it detect RF interference or report channel utilization in the wireless sense. RSSI and SNR require a wireless adapter in monitor mode or a spectrum analyzer. Iperf is particularly useful during post-installation active surveys to validate that the wireless network delivers the required data throughput.
