I haven't read the iperf 3 code much but it's primarily the multithreaded
code in iperf 2 that makes it complicated.  My thoughts are to keep the
multithreading code in iperf 2 and keep iperf 3 single threaded.   Then use
higher level scripts, possibly python scripts, to get the similar
functionality of of iperf 3.   (Those scripts may be able to be written to
support either version as the traffic generators/sinks.)
