### Intro

iperf3 can be used to measure maximum network throughput. It allows to calibrate several parameters like timing, buffers, protocols and streams that can help in network optimization. Each test shows various network performance metrics including throughput, jitter and packet loss. iperf3 results are considered much more accurate and reliable.  

Last official binary release version was 3.1.3 for Windows in 2016 . This repo is created for iperf3 pre-compiled binaries for Windows. **The goal is to create iperf3 Windows executable without any modification in original source code.** Each binary released is checked with [VirusTotal](https://www.virustotal.com/gui/home/upload) before upload.
