Explaination of new feature
spawn a thread when iperf server accepts a client connect so the server can
handle multiple client requests
Justification of new feature
Install iperf client on mobile devices and measure throughput via the same
iperf server.

That's not really what iperf is designed for. Supporting multiple tests at the
same time, while not hard, raises the possibility that the tests will interfere
with each other at the server. This is particularly true in the
high-performance networking environments for which iperf3 was designed. So by
design, we explicitly drop connection requests that come in while a test is
running.
I recommend we not address this enhancement.

You can always use the iperf3 library and write you own application for this
use case if you'd like.

Adding to the #3 you can always run the multiple instance of the server in
multiple ports
iperf3 -s -p 12345

Marking as WontFix, as this isn't really a part of iperf's design.
