Bruce Mah at es net is my main iperf 3 contact.

Not sure what you mean by "I hope they don't set a fixed size buffer"

FYI, the current git head of iperf 2.0.14 hasn't undergone any windows
testing yet.  Not sure if it even compiles.  The 2.0.13 tarball is the
latest official release.

We're getting closer to a 2.0.14 release - feel free to request features.
