Add fragmentation support

Closed this issue · 2 comments

Explaination of new feature:
It would be great if iperf3 can support fragmentation. User can specify the 
size of each packet and base on the mtu of the interface, the packet gets 
fragmented.

Justification of new feature: 
Currently there is no linux test tools that can do TCP fragmentation. If 
fragmentation is needed for TCP, you would have to use a router in between the 
client and server to fragment the packet. If linux test tool can do that, there 
would be less configuration on the topology.
