I can't speak for iperf 3 but iperf 2.0.13 supports -b on the server for
both TCP and UDP.  It does this by running a simplified token bucket on the
reads(). With that said, there is no way for a server to control the
transmit rate of a iperf client running UDP because UDP is connectionless.
TCP is required for an iperf server to rate limit the client's offered load
to the network.
