-===== iPerf Notes =====
+===== iPerf Notes and Troubleshooting =====
-Unfortunately, there are currently few reachable iPerf servers. In order to get accurate results, it's important to use an iPerf server with geographical proximity. The above example was run on a 200Mb/s downstream / 12Mb/s upstream connection. However the results are far from accurate. Regardless, IPerf can still be a useful tool for tasks such as intranet VPN performance testing and tuning.
