Enhancement Request

  • Current behavior
    Running iperf on Linux runs older version iperf 2 something.

  • Desired behavior
    Running iperf on Linux defaults to latest version, (I may need to reinstall, infact let me try that first)
    Tested after purging iperf, no change in desired behavior. (I do know that I can make a shortcut to the proper iperf command)

The iperf3 executable is named iperf3 to allow it to co-exist with the older version of iperf. There are no plans to change this.
