-===== 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 were far from accurate. Regardless, iPerf can still be a useful tool for tasks such as intranet VPN performance testing and tuning. Unfortunately, there are currently few reachable iPerf servers.
