Description
***********
The zperf sample demonstrates the :ref:`zperf shell utility <zperf>`, which
allows to evaluate network bandwidth.

LAST PACKET NOT RECEIVED!!!
- Client or server mode allowed without need to modify the source code.
Supported Boards
****************
zperf is board-agnostic. However, to run the zperf sample application,
the target platform must provide a network interface supported by Zephyr.
This sample application has been tested on the following platforms:
- Freedom Board (FRDM K64F)
- Quark SE C1000 Development Board
- QEMU x86
Requirements
************
- iPerf 2.0.5 installed on the host machine
- Supported board
Depending on the network technology chosen, extra steps may be required
to setup the network environment.
Usage
*****
See :ref:`zperf library documentation <zperf>` for more information about
the library usage.
