libp2p-perf

Archived. Use https://github.com/libp2p/test-plans/tree/master/perf instead.

The iPerf equivalent for the libp2p ecosystem.

In a nutshell a client sends as much data as possible through a single multiplexed stream to a server which reads and discards all received data. The client closes the stream after 10 seconds. Subsequently both the client and the server print the result as the total number of bytes transferred and the corresponding bandwidth on stdout.
