Hi newbie here but been using pCP for years. Thank you for the great
work. 

Redo'ing my home network these days and when testing the speed I saw,
strangely, the result of iperf3 from pCP's interface diff than that of
running directly from command line. 

I'm on a gigabit network direct wired connection.

Output from pCP's UI, after 20sec.

Output from directly running iperf3 from command line. No special option
other than -c and -R. Everything the same.
