Hi Craig,

Any reason you need iperf 3 for this and can't use iperf 2.0.14?

We are in the process of early field test for iperf 2.0.14.
<https://sourceforge.net/projects/iperf2/>  This is probably an
experimental feature that could be added last minute.  We'd need you to
test if willing. Our goal is to release 2.0.14 early 2021.

We're out of short options and would need to use long options. Maybe
something like

--sweep-range=1m,100m, 1m (start, final, step size) defaults to 1m,10m,1m
with just --sweep-range
--sweep-steptime 1.5 (units of seconds) defaults to 1 second if
--sweep-range and no --sweep-steptime

Note that --sweep-range has optional arguments (per the =) and
sweep-steptime has a mandatory argument (if used.)

All, do comment on more intuitive command line options.

Bob
