I hope to find an answer rather quickly about this issue. I am currently trying measure RTT from an iOS device to my ubuntu desktop and server. However, I'm seeing that the iperf version on iOS is iperf3 (which is probably the reason why I keep getting an error message every time I try to perform a simple test). I am able to ping from the iOS device to my hosts.
So right now,I am trying to install iperf3 into my Ubuntu 14.04 desktop and server (with the notion that having the same versions will resolve the problem), but keep getting an error that iperf is not installed.
When I do apt-get iperf, it installs. But when I go to check the version (iperf -vl), I get version 2.0.5-3.
Any help I get is greatly appreciated.

iperf is a tool for performing network throughput measurements. It can test either TCP or UDP throughput. To perform an iperf test the user must establish both a server (to discard traffic) and a client (to generate traffic).
As of Vivid (15.04), iperf3 is now available in the Ubuntu universe repository. It is also available with backports on Trusty (14.04). To get it:
sudo apt install iperf3
Here's a link to the official package description on the Ubuntu website.
