Recreating IPERF3 over IPSEC Traffic tests on older EOLS units, to compare with current models

ay

There are IPERF3, IMIX over IPSEC Traffic number for current model hardware at the store.

I'd like to estimate how current models might compare against our existing EOS / EOL'd Factory Edition models,
that have also been upgraded to Plus edition.

Are more details available about how the IPERF3 / IMIX tests were setup that would let setup a similar traffic test?
What iperf3 parameters were used?

Or, has Netgate already done this work for me , and have already published IPERF3 / IMIX over IPSEC numbers for
for EOL'd units updated to run Plus 23.01, thus saving me from setting up a lab?

I'm assuming the physical setup was a
linux iperf3 client , a pair of pfsense+ appliances with an ipsec tunnel between them, and another linux box running an iperf3 server,
With allow allow on the firewall rules tab.

Which particular hardware did you have in mind?

There are more details about the testing in this blog post:

iperf3 is best to use between two units as a sender and a receiver, but only through pfSense.

iperf will be nice for testing, but the "real world" traffic
is often totally different.

That also EoL units will be able to install version 23.01 is in my eyes a well done or goody!
