iperf2 is no longer being developed by its original maintainers. |
|
However, beginning in 2014, another developer began fixing bugs and |
|
enhancing functionality, and generating releases of iperf2. Both |
|
projects (as of late 2017) are currently being developed actively, but |
|
independently. More information can be found in the :ref:`faq`. |
