Not sure if folks know this or use it, but the Tablo does have a valid iperf3 instance that runs constantly. It’s been incredibly useful for me to diagnose a broken wifi segments. iperf was written by a few friends of ours at the department of energy. We used to use it to diagnose national long haul 100GBit/s network links - very useful, many options. You can spin up multiple threads with -P also to test throughput and emulate multiple clients.

Here’s some example output from our Tablo from a wireless client - we can stream 8mbit/s 1080p to at least three televisions or devices around the house with this level of output on an 802.11AC network. Basically, if you don’t get good numbers from iperf3 you end up with a miserable experience. I learned the hardway and found a broken wireless AP on our network that just wasn’t cutting it.
Hope this helps!
