Hello

Iperf3 and ntttcp use tcp for passing some control data , not the test data

Is there any tool that use only udp connection , without any tcp connection ?

Thanks

iperf and iperf3 can both be used in UDP mode with the -u flag, but it sounds like you may be looking for a tool capable of stateless traffic generation. Ostinato is a stateless traffic generator inspired by IXIA.
