Public bug reported: iperf3's man page clearly shows:
“--sctp use SCTP rather than TCP (FreeBSD and Linux)” Yet if you try to use it: “iperf3: unrecognized option '--sctp'” <snip> Either it is being built without SCTP support or the man page is wrong. This is likely fixed in Cosmic as the Debian bug suggests: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=858944 There's no reason this option shouldn't be enabled.
