==Summary==
On TalkTalk DSL circuits we've been seeing slow single thread TCP throughput in the evenings. ie, a VDSL circuit in sync at 79.9M can see < 10M throughput. Running multiple single thread downloads can fill the link as each will use around 10M
 
Various things have been tried to narrow down what is causing this, but so far it still remains a mystery!
To help with the investigations we've asked customers to run an iperf3 server and allow our IPs in
 
*===Installing iperf3*:===
iperf3 on linux systems should be available in your normal software repositries, eg:
debian:
sudo apt-get install iperf3
 
redhat:
IPs to allow:
sudo yum install iperf3
 
===Running iperf===
simply running:
iperf3 -s
 
This will listen on the default port of 5201
 
===IPs to allow:===
Allow these IPs to access your machine on TCP port 5201
