21 March 2013 - full Windows port (no Cygwin) of iperf-2.0.5, with properly working QoS (DSCP set). Tested at gigabit speeds with mulsticast and IPv6. IPERF is a professional tool for qualifying throughput of corporate networks and the Internet. However, it's still simple and easy to use.

"The program is working very well.
I'm testing a DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem in an 8x4 channel bonded mode.
I'm able to get ~300Mbps downstream and ~100Mbps upstream without errors."

Bandwidth Test with QoS
Bandwidth test between two computers, with QoS parameter set. Gigabit cards are connected with a crossover cable. DSCP values are assigned separately for client and server traffic.
Multicast
Three computers connected to Netgear GS608 gigabit switch. Two terminal sessions on the right on Windows XP and Windows7 run IPERF as receivers, leftmost is Windows XP Sony Vaio laptop running IPERF as sender.
IPv6
Two desktops connected via Netgear gigabit switch, with global IPv6 addresses assigned.
